ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
DEDICATION
It seems like forever that Joe Semensi has served the
Town of Randolph.
Joe served as a Trustee of the Stetson School Fund, was a
member of the School Committee from 1949-1952, a
Selectman from 1952 to 1997 and has been a Town
Meeting member since 1949. Joe was also a State
Representative for seven terms.
Joe has filled in as Town Clerk Town Treasurer, and has
served as a Library Trustee, and as a member of the
Randolph Democratic Town Committee. He currendy sits
on the Cable TV Advisory Board and as the Chairman of
the Personnel Board. Joe is an active member of numer-
ous veterans, fraternal and civic organizations. He served
on the School Planning and Building Committee for the
Randolph Community Middle School. That auditorium is
named for Joe. It is fitting that the Randolph School
Committee voted to name the auditorium for him.
It is with great pride and pleasure that we dedicate this
last town report of the millennium to him and thank Joe
for his ever diligent commitment to the Town of
Randolph. For this, we are blessed. Thank you Joe.

ONE HUNDRED AND SDCTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE
BOARD OF SELECTMEN
The Board of Selectmen, while considered by many to be the Executive branch of the gov-
ernment for the town is, in reality, but one part of the Executive branch of government for
the town. The Board shares this role with other elected boards. The Board of Selectmen is
responsible for:
• Implementing and administering the decisions of Town Meeting (the Legislative
branch of government.)
• Establishing policies and procedures for the coordination of town government
operations.
• Representing the interest of town residents in a variety of forums including, but
not limited to, business dealings, legal affairs and intergovernmental, cooperation with other
municipal, county, state and federal agencies.
• Submitting fiscally responsible budgets for those budgets under the Board's con-
trol to the Finance Committee for Town Meeting approval.
• Proposing and continuing to update a five year capital improvement plan that
works within our means.
• Preparing the warrant and listing of articles for Town Meeting consideration.
• Licensing for liquor, common victualler, taxis & livery, entertainment and con-
ducting all public hearings for issuance or violations.
• Meeting and negotiating collective bargaining contracts with all five bargaining
units.
This year, the Board's highest priority were issues that directly affect the quality of
life in the Town of Randolph.
• Numerous complaints were received and acted upon with respect to the enforce-
ment of the junk bylaw adopted by our Town Meeting and established as a town bylaw.
• A public hearing was held and a parade bylaw adopted after many complaints
about vendors at the Night Before the Fourth parade. This bylaw will restrict the area of
sales to behind the curb line so that views should not be obstructed.
• In the Design Review Board's first year of service, it has proven to be a most
valuable tool of the town with respect to the appearance of not only buildings and grounds,
but also in the control of signs and signage.
• Cellular phone towers and bylaws pertaining to them were another hot topic this
year as we again led the way on the South Shore by adopting strict but fair regulations.
14
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
• Cable TV - The Randolph became the first community on the South Shore to con-
tract the services of a second cable company, RCN, to provide its network and allow a selec-
tion process for you, the consumer, because as we all know, competition is healthy.
Your Selectmen have been strong advocates of the Master Plan in order to provide managed
growth of this community, enjoy open space, create additional recreation, support our infra-
structure and business community and continue to make Randolph an affordable, nice place
to live.
We thank all town employees who give 100% in service to our community. We thank all
Boards, Committees and Commissions, department heads and officials for their cooperation
and assistance.
We thank those residents, who have felt a need to be active in their town by voicing their
opinion, giving of their time, or any gesture to make our community a better place to work
and live.
We also thank Executive Secretary Paul J. Connors, Administrative Assistant Linda M.
Sproules, Office Assistant Anne Barkhouse, and Town Counsel Paul R. DeRensis and his
firm for their dedication and service on our behalf.
We congratulate all the members of our "town family" who have retired and we are sad-
dened by the loss of our "family" members who have passed away. May God watch over
them.
Respectfully submitted,
Brian P. Howard, Chairman

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE
EXECUTIVE SECRETARY
Nineteen ninety-nine marked my seventh year as Executive Secretary to the Board
of Selectmen. It has been my pleasure and good fortune to serve in this position. I would
like to thank the Board of Selectmen under whom I serve for their continued confidence and
support.
Unlike my past reports, 1999 had no particular defining moments as there were no
triumphs or tragedies. It was, however, extremely busy with more than ever day-to-day
requests and inquiries of our office.
During the first part of 1999, I devoted many hours in negotiations with the lUOE
(DPW) which resulted in a contract for three years that will well serve the town along with
that of our union employees. Also during that early part of the year, a great deal of time was
spent on securing the best possible health insurance program and rate for all of our town
employees. This task was accomplished through my office and with the assistance of the
Employee Insurance Advisory Committee which is made up of representatives of each col-
lective bargaining unit and a municipal retiree. As a result of our deliberations, we were able
to secure a 3% reduction in cost for FYOO. Not being complacent, and ever watchful of all
health insurance coverage, the health insurance rate history for the town for the past seven
years shows a 5% decrease. I will caution, however, that this trend may not continue as we
currently read of health insurance cost concerns of HMO's. We should and will be prepared
to address these concerns in the early part of 2000, and possibly in 2000 or 2001 explore the
self-funding of health insurance as we do the worker's compensation.
I have also represented the town as their designee on the Norfolk County Advisory
Board, MBTA Advisory Board, MWRA Advisory Board, and the School Planning and
Building Committee. By my attendance at these regular meetings, I have been able to con-
vey the town's concerns on particular matters and help protect the town's interest. I also
have the pleasure of serving on the MIIA Health Insurance Trust Fund and the Norfolk
County Retirement Board looking out for the health and wellbeing of our employees and the
needs of our retirees both current and future.
During the year a municipal wellness program was implemented for our public
safety employees. This includes health screening, education components and health club
membership. Participation in this program is in compliance with Commonwealth of
Massachusetts regulations and is also a continuation and expansion of a former Board of
Health program conducted by our retired Health department nurse, Mickie Condon, R.N.
A major concern during the year was the financial picture for 1999 while looking
forward to 2000, the year that we go out to secure our bond rating and then sell our bonds on
the open market. I am optimistic that we will secure a very favorable rating due to the dili-
gence of our Selectmen, Department Heads, Finance Committee and Town Meeting mem-
bers and their exercise of prudent budgeting and careful spending. We will be going to the
market at the right time. Again, as we go to the Annual Town Meeting in 2000, we must
continue this vigilance and not look to overspending or hiring additional personnel for I fear
future layoffs would be a likelihood. I would also caution against the creation of revolving
16
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
accounts or increases to existing accounts because doing so would tap a pool of money that
is used for all of town government and not just let those that receive money expend those
funds and not share the resources.
Nineteen ninety-nine will probably be best known for all of the fanfare that Y2K
received and it was the biggest non-happening one could wish for. We as a community were
well prepared for this non-event and benefited from it. First, we prepared by gearing up our
non-existent civil defense organization with the purchase of blankets, MRE's (Meals Ready
to Eat), and emergency generators for use by the public with extreme health needs.
Fortunately, these were not needed but are on hand for any disaster that may strike. Our
police and fire departments were trained and ready for any out of line activity. A terrific pro-
gram was conducted with public safety, DPW, all utilities and town officials to outline our
preparedness. This was presented on cable for two months in advance of Y2K.
In early spring our computer system - hardware and software - was updated and
made ready. All PC's were updated along with other ancillary equipment. To all those that
participated in our Y2K plan, my sincere thank you. Although we will never know, I am
confident we would have been all right.
A very special thank you to Linda Sproules, my Administrative Assistant for her
individual contribution to the office and its needs on a daily basis and for her job as the sys-
tem administrator of the in-house computer system and her preparedness for Y2K. We also
had the benefit of our office assistant Anne Barkhouse, who along with assisting in everyday
events, also served as the Census 2000 Vice Chairman in anticipation of the upcoming cen-
sus. She has done an exemplary job. To both of these wonderful, hard-working people,
thank you very, very much.
I wish to thank all Town Department Heads for their continued cooperation and
support. To all Town staff and the many citizens, volunteers, committee members and others
whose invaluable contributions of time, energy and talent make it possible for Randolph to
be maintained as a well-managed, civic-minded community - a very special thank you.
Respectfully submitted,
Paul J. Connors
EXECUTIVE SECRETARY

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OFT HE
TOWN COUNSEL 1999
This year was a very active and successful year for the Law Department:
L Advice & Legal Documents. Numerous advisory opinions were rendered
throughout the year to various Town officials and Boards relating to a wide variety of issues
and subjects. Frequent and ongoing attention was given to reviewing and/or drafting Bylaws
(including assisting with the town's new wireless communication bylaw and the bylaw
establishing the new Design Review Board), contract documents and agreements (including
the contract with internet carrier Metricom and a solid waste contract with BFI), easements,
zoning covenants, procurement documents, public road documents. Warrants for Town
meetings. Liquor License Policy, procedures for Fire Lane establishment,, compliance with
the State Ethics Act, Cable television licenses (including both Media One and RCN), and
other legal documents.
2. Labor Issues. We provided advice from time to time during 1999 regarding the
interpretation and application of collective bargaining agreements and the processing of
union grievances. In addition we also provided advice and assistance regarding a variety of
personnel issues relative to applicable federal and state law, and the requirements of the
Town's personnel bylaw.
3. Administrative Agency Proceedings. The Town was involved in a number of
administrative agency proceedings, including issues before the Massachusetts Alcoholic
Beverage Control Commission, State Labor Relations Commission, Massachusetts Bay
Transportation Authority (regarding the configuration of the intersection of Union and
Center Streets) , the Industrial Accident Board, the Superintendent of Public Records, and
the State Ethics Commission..
4. Projects. We assisted in the National Amusements Cinema project, various road
layout issues, landfill and trash collection issues, alcoholic beverage license issues, cable
television license process. North Main Street property easements, issues relating to the re-
use and office leasing of Stetson Hall and the Corkin Building, Building Department code
enforcement issues, and issues relating to recreation programs sponsored by the Board of
Recreation. In the fall we prepared and presented for the Personnel Board a training seminar
on sexual harassment avoidance for town employees and officials. We participated in the
establishment and incorporation of the Randolph Community Cable Television, Inc., a non
profit local cable access company that assists the Town in implementing the recently
renewed cable television licenses.

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE
NORFOLK COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Fiscal Year 1999 was a busy year in Norfolk County. Attention continued to focus
on enhancing regional services. Funding for grants to Domestic Violence Ended (D.O.V.E.)
and Norfolk County Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (R.&S.V.P.) and grants to local
food pantries were increased to augment various programs to benefit local communities.
Norfolk County (R.&S.V.P) successfully implemented a Summer Reads Program linking
volunteers with local students to improve reading skills. The county also authored a state
legislative bill that promotes use of open land for Open Space and Recreation purposes
without raising taxes that would: (1) divert exising state revenues to dedicated local environ-
mental spending: (2) would apply in every Massachusetts city and town: and (3) could
become part of any legislative compromise between environmental and business interests.
The Norfolk County Agricultural High School in Walpole, provides high quality,
technical programs in horticulture, arboriculture, natural resources, pet store operations, dog
grooming, diesel and gasoline equipment maintenance and repair, and construction of basic
farm stuctures. Norfolk County residents pay no tuition. Out of county residents are
assessed a tuition fee, which is usually paid by student's home school district. The school
continued to upgrade its computer system. Many graduates of the Class of '99 planned on
either furthering their education or starting careers in their selected field of study.
The Registry of Deeds provides state-of-the-art services to the public. Hundreds of
people visited the Registry each week to conduct their business. Documents recorded in the
Registry and Land Court totaled 240,195. It continued to microfilm old and deteriorating
records.
Wollaston Recreational Facility in North Quincy provides local golfers with an
excellent course on which to play, at reasonable prices. 47,098 rounds of golf were played.
Each year Presidents Golf Course presents the popular Norfolk County Classic Golf
Tournament - this year's event was a great success.
Services available from the County Engineering Department included highway lay-
outs, topographic or existing conditions surveys and plans, the staking and monumentation
of County Layouts, establishment of GPS control points, preparation of street acceptance
plans and performing traffic counts.
The Office of the Sheriff, under newly-elected Sheriff Michael G. Bellotti, admin-
istered several community oriented and rehabilitative programs. Another area of public safe-
ty was the completion of outfitting a specially equipped vehicale to respond to mass casualty
incidents, through a previous county grant.
We wish to thank our municipal officials and citizens for allowing us to provide
county services to our twenty-eight communities. Thanks also to the advisory board, county
officials, department heads and employees for their continuing support, assistance, and
cooperation.
Respectfully submitted,
William P. O'Donnell, Chairman
John M. Gillis
Peter H. Collins

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
tures of the cultural architectural, economic, political or social history of the Town
and to encourage the preservation and restoration rather than the demolition of such

sons, animals, or property.
2. "Commission" - the Randolph Historical Commission.
3. "Building Commissioner" - The Randolph Building Commissioner.
4. "Demolition" - any act of pulling down, destroying, removing, or raz-
ing a building or any portion thereof, or commencing the work of total
or substantial destruction with the intent of completing the same.
5. "Demolition Permit" - the permit issued by the Building
Commissioner as required by State Building Code, for the demolition
or removal of a building or structure. This permit must also indicate
the location of the facility at which the debris is to be disposed.
6. "Significant Building" - any building or portion thereof which is sev-
enty-five (75) years old or over and is not included in a historic dis-
trict but which:
a. is listed on, or is within an area listed on, the National Register of
History Places, or is the subject of a pending application for listing on
said National Register; or
b. is included in the Cultural Resources Inventory prepared by the
Commission including those buildings listed for which completed
surveys may be pending; or
c. has been determined by a vote of the Commission to be historical-
ly or architecturally significant in terms of period, style, method of
building construction, or association with a famous architect, builder,
person or event provided that the owner of such a building and the
Building Commissioner have been notified, in hand or by certified
mail, within ten (10) days of such vote.
SS 87-3. Procedure
1. Prior to application for a demolition permit of any building in the
town that is seventy-five (75) years old or older, applicant should
apply to the Historical Commission for a determination of whether
such building is a Significant Building. A list of seventy-five years old
or older buildings shall be maintained at the offices of both the
41
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
Building Commissioner and the Historical Commission. No demolition
permit shall be issued for such a property without the determination
specified herein, except as noted below.
2. After the Commission has received a copy of the application for a
determination of historical significance, it shall within thirty (30) days
submit a preliminary recommendation regarding the granting of a
demolition permit. If the commission issues a recommendation in
favor of granting such a permit, an application may be filed with the
Building Inspector for the granting of a demolition permit. If the
Commission issues a recommendation in opposition to the granting of
such a permit, no permit shall be issued until a more thorough investi-
gation and a public hearing is undertaken and a final recommendation
is made by the Commission. Such investigation, public hearing and
recommendation shall be, completed within ninety (90) days of the
original submission to the Commission.
3. After the Commission issues a preliminary recommendation in oppo-
sition to the granting of a permit for demolition, the Commission shall
fix a reasonable time for the hearing and shall give public notice
thereof by publishing notice of the time, place, and purpose of the
hearing, and also, within seven days of said hearing, by mailing a
copy of said notice to the applicant, to the owners of all property
deemed by the Commission to be affected thereby as they appear on
the most recent local tax list and to other such persons as the
Commission shall deem entitled to notice."
4. If, after such hearing, the Commission determines that the demolition
of the Significant Building would not be detrimental to the historical
heritage or resources of the Town, the Commission shall so notify the
Building Commissioner within ten (10) days of such determination.
Upon receipt of such notification, or after the expiration of fifteen
(15) days from the date of the conduct of the public hearing if notifi-
cation from the Commission has not been received, the Building
Commissioner may, subject to the requirements of the State Building
Code and any other applicable law, by-laws, rules and regulations,
issue the demolition permit.
5. If the Commission determines that the Significant Building would be
detrimental to the historical heritage or resources of the town, such
building shall be considered a "preferably -preserved significant build-
ing."
6. Upon determination by the Commission that the Significant Building
which is the subject of the application for a demolition permit is a
preferably-preserved significant building, the Commission shall so
42
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
advise the applicant and the Building Commission, and no demolition per-
mit may be issued for at least six (6) months after the date of such
determination by the Commission.
7. Notwithstanding section 87-3.6 preceding, the Building
Commissioner may issue a demolition permit for a preferably-pre-
served significant building at any time after receipt of written advice
from the Commission to the affect that either.
a. the Commission is satisfied that there is no reasonable likelihood
that either the owner or some other person or group is willing to pur-
chase for fair market value, to preserve, rehabilitate, or restore such
building, or
b. the Commission is satisfied that for at least six months the owner
has made continuing, bona fide and reasonable efforts to locate a pur-
chaser to preserve, rehabilitate and restore the subject building, and
that such efforts have been unsuccessful.
SS 87-4. Emergency Demolition
1. If the condition of a building or structure poses a serious and immi-
nent threat to public health or safety due to its deteriorated condition,
the owner of such building may request the issuance of an emergency
demolition from the Building Commissioner.
2. As soon as practicable after the receipt of such a request the Building
Commissioner shall arrange to have the property inspected by a board
consisting of the Building Commissioner, the chairmen of the
Historical Commission and Board of Health, and the Chief of the Fire
Department, or their respective designees. After inspection of the
building or structure and consultation with this board, the Building
Commissioner shall determine whether the condition of the building
or structure represents a serious and imminent threat to public health
or safety, and that there is no reasonable alternative to the immediate
demolition permit under the provisions of this Section 87-4. A written
report shall be prepared for the Commission by the Inspector describ-
ing the condition of the building or structure and the basis for the
decision to issue an emergency demolition permit.
3. Nothing in this Section 87-4 shall be inconsistent with the procedures
for the demolition and/or securing of buildings and structures estab-
lished by Chapter 143, Section 6-10, of the Massachusetts General
Laws.
4. Nothing in this Section 87-4 shall be construed to prevent the con-
struction, reconstruction, restoration, alteration, or demolition of any
43
ONE HUNDRED AND SDCTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
feature which the Building Commissioner shall certify is required by the
public safety because of an unsafe or dangerous condition. Except in
the case of buildings listed on the State or National Register of
Historic Places, or are part of a State or National Register District, the
Commission shall not regulate such construction, reconstruction,
alteration or demolition.
SS 87-5. Historic Districts
Notwithstanding the foregoing sections of this Chapter 87, these provi-
sions shall not apply to any building or structure located within a local his-
toric district and subject to regulation under the provisions of Chapter 40C
of the Massachusetts General Laws and the bylaws regulating historic dis-
tricts in the town of Randolph.
SS 87-6. Enforcement and Remedy
1. The Commission and Building Commissioner are each authorized to
institute any and all proceedings in law or equity as they deem neces-
sary and appropriate to obtain compliance with the requirements of
this by-law, or to prevent the violation thereof.
2. Whoever violates any provisions of this bylaw shall be punishable by
a fine not to exceed $1,000 for each such violation. Each day during
which a violation exists shall constitute a separate offense.
3. No building permit shall be issued with respect to any premises upon
which a Significant Building has been voluntarily demolished in vio-
lation of this by-law for a period of two years after the date of com-
pletion of such demolition. As used herein, "premises" includes the
parcel of land upon which the demolished significant building was
located.
4. The provisions of sub-section 2 above shall not apply to those build-
ings or structures that were demolished due to fire, storm or other nat-
ural disaster, provided that said fire damage was not the result of
arson or other intentional destruction by the owner as determined by
the Fire Chief or his designee.
SS 87-7. Appeal Procedure
Any person aggrieved by the determination of the Commission, may with-
in twenty days after the filing of the notice of such determination with the
Building Commissioner, appeal to the Superior Court for Norfolk County.
The court shall hear all pertinent evidence and shall annul the determina-
tion of the Commission if it finds the decision of the Commission to be
unsupported by the evidence, arbitary or capricious, or in excess of the
44
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
authority of the Commission, or may remand the case for further action by
the Commission or make such other decree as justice and equity shall
require.
SS 87-8. Severability
If any section, paragraph, or part of this by-law is for any reason declared
invalid or unconstitutional by any court, every other section, paragraph
and part shall continue in full force and effect.

s. 200-95.- Design Review Principles and Standards
The design review principles and standards described in this sec-

and building design and the Design Review Board in its review
of proposed actions. These principles and standards shall not be
regarded as inflexible requirements, and they are not intended to
discourage creativity, invention, or innovation. The Design
Review Board is specifically precluded from mandating any offi-
cial aesthetic style for the Town or for imposing the style of any
particular historical period. The Design Review Board's decision
shall assure conformity to the principles and standards set forth
herein to a degree consistent with a reasonable use of the site for
the purposes permitted or permissible by the regulations of the
district in which it is located. The design review principles and
standards shall apply to all actions reviewable under the Bylaw.
A. General Principles
(1) Every reasonable effort shall be made to preserve the
distinguishing original qualities of a building, structure,
or site and its environment. The removal or alteration of
any historic material or architectural features should be
avoided when possible.
(2) Stylistic features distinctive to the architecture of a spe-
cific building, structure, or landscape, or examples of
skilled craft which characterize a building, structure, or
site shall be conserved or preserved where feasible and
appropriate, and may be considered for use as the basis
for design of additions. Their removal or alteration
should be avoided wherever possible.
(3) Contemporary design for new structures or sites, alter-
ations, or additions to existing properties shall not be
discouraged when such new developments, alterations,
or additions do not destroy significant historical,
architectural, or cultural material, and when such design
84
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
is compatible with the design character of the
surrounding environment.
(4) The design of alterations and additions shall, where
reasonableand appropriate, strive to improve
the quality, appearance, and usability of existing
buildings, structures, and sites.
B. Design Review. Standards
The Design Review Board shall consider, at a minimum, the
following standards in the course of the design review of a
proposed action.
(1) Height - The height of any proposed alteration should
be compatible with the style and character of the
building, structure, or site being altered and that of the
surroundings.
(2) Proportions - The proportions and relationships of
height to width between windows, doors, signs, and
other architectural elements should be compatible with
the architectural style and character of the building or
structure and that of the surroundings.
(3) Relation of Structures and Spaces - The relation of a
structure to the open space between it and adjoining
structures should be compatible with such relations in
the surroundings.
(4) Shape - The shape of roofs, windows, doors, and other
design elements should be compatible with the architec-
tural style and character of a building or site, and that of
its surroundings.
(5) Landscape - The purpose of any proposed landscape
development or alteration should be to enhance the char-
acter and appearance of the surrounding area, landscape,
and streetscape elements, including topography,
plantings, and paving patterns and to provide continuity
and definition to the street and pedestrian areas.
(6) Scale - The scale of a structure or landscape alteration
should be compatible with its architectural or landscape
design style and character and that of the surroundings.
The scale of ground-level design elements such as build-
ing entryways, windows, porches, plazas, parks,
pedestrian furniture, plantings, and other street and site
elements should be determined by and directed toward
85
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
the use, comprehension, and enjoyment of pedestrians.
(7) Architectural and Site Details - Architectural and site
details including signs, lighting, pedestrian furniture,
plantings, and paving, along with materials, colors,
textures, and grade shall be treated so as to be
compatible with the original architectural and landscape
design style of the structure or site and to preserve and
enhance the character of the surrounding area.
(8) Signs - The design of signs should reflect the scale and
character of the structure or site and its surroundings.
Signs should simply and clearly identify individual
establishments, buildings, locations, and uses.

Regulations as are deemed appropriate, consistent with the provisions of this

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE
RANDOLPH SCHOOL COMMITTEE
The School Committee estabUshed the following systemwide goals for the 1998-
1999 school year: increasing academic achievement, insuring school safety, successfully
opening the new Randolph Comm.unity Middle School and improving school/community
communications. The committee is extremely grateful for the continuing community support
which was particularly evident at the annual Town Meeting.
The school year was highlighted by new curriculum revisions, the challenge of
responding to school safety concerns, the decision to move grades seven and eight to the
new middle school, the recruitment and retention of high caliber education professionals and
the formation of committees to assist in the implementation of newly approved School
Committee goals.
Of note this year was the leadership of Ron DiGuilio as chairman, until his deci-
sion to step down to run for another town post; of Nancy Irwin who completed six active
and productive years on the committee last April; the re-election of Ed Gilbert to a full
three-year term; the welcoming of H. Grace Cornish to the committee; and the work of
Barbara Mellon on strategies to increase academic achievement. A special thanks to Finance
Committee members Larry Cullen and Arthur Goldstein for their support and direction.
Particular thanks are due to the professional staff and employees of the Randolph
Public Schools for their consistent commitment to the students and taxpayers of Randolph.
Their dedication and caring do not go unnoticed.
The Randolph School Committee looks forward to leading the effort to properly
educate the children of Randolph as we enter the new millennium. We believe that there is
no more important responsibility.
Respectfully submitted,
Robert L. Gass, Chairman

REPORT OF THE
SCHOOL BUILDING AND PLANNING COMMITTEE
The School Building and Planning Committee ended 1999 working hard to oversee
the completion of the renovation and addition to the former North Junior High School on
High Street. The new Randolph Community Middle school was on schedule and on budget
to open for the 1999-2000 school year.
The committee members met monthly plus regularly visited the site to inspect and
review the progress of the project. Particular thanks are given to all the town departments
and officials whose cooperation made our efforts possible. Our hope is to complete other
work by early 2000 and have the school system and community enhanced by the opening of
this $15,000,000 Project.

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
One of the school department's major endeavors this year was the aHgnment of all
curriculum areas with state standards. This effort has involved many teachers working to
rewrite curriculum and integrating test-taking skills into their classroom routines. Part of
this effort included the purchase of a new mathematics program for the elementary schools
and social studies texts for the secondary schools.
The new Randolph Community Middle School opened with a very positive recep-
tion from teachers, parents and students. Benefits from placing 7th and 8th grade students in
their own building and returning the High School to a grade 9-12 configuration have been
very evident. Technologically, the district continues to improve its offerings to students.
Every classroom has at least one computer, labs are available throughout the district, media
centers at the middle and high schools are on-line and instructional technology specialists
are available at all schools. These efforts will help ensure that our students are technologi-
cally proficient as they enter the 21st century.
Our district newsletter continues to keep parents and the community updated and
informed with regard to school activities and student accomplishments. We will focus this
year on providing parents more information regarding the MCAS program and what they
can do to help their children be successful.
The Office of Pupil Services, which encompasses Special Education, Bilingual
Education and Guidance Services, has made significant gains, including enhanced parent
outreach, curriculum development, training in classroom adaptations and modifications,
translations of required documents and dissemination of information regarding second lan-
guage acquisitions and cultural differences.
In 1999 Preschool programs and services were expanded, a Middle School
Language Enhancement program was initiated, secondary Transitional services were stream-
lined and music and physical therapies were added to the Randolph roster. Additionally,
teams of professionals were formed to explore issues dealing with Assistive Technology and
Augmentative Communication and the Educational Assessment of Language Minority
Students. Future goals include developing and implementing programs to acculturate
refugee students and their families, upgrading technology in Special Education environ-
ments, establishing multilingual parent programs at all schools and preparing students with
disabilities and language minority students for MCAS participation.
The schools are most fortunate to be supported by a large number of dedicated men
and women who serve as members of the PTOs, the School Councils and the many other
organizations. Their continued support and hard work to benefit all students is greatly appre-
ciated.

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
DEVINE SCHOOL
330 Students - Joseph Celona, Principal
In addition to the regular education program, the school houses a Haitian bilingual
and an intensive ESL language program. Reading Recovery, a highly successful program to
teach reading to children of greatest need is offered in grade one. The school council is in
the second year of its three-year goal, which is to renovate the school library into a state-of-
the-art library/media center. Special programs include: "Invest In Your Future - Bank On
Reading", a reading incentive program where students buy books with "kid's cash",
P.O.S.H., (Pupils Offering Students Help) where fifth and sixth graders are role models and
tutors for primary student and "Math-a-Thon", where students raise funds for the school by
completing math problems. B.J.'s Wholesale Warehouse, which has been very supportive in
fund raising efforts, and the Devine School have formed a one year partnership whose goal
is to encourage students to participate in community service projects.
DONOVAN SCHOOL
467 Students - Dr. John W. Billings, Principal
The Donovan hosts an innovative educational program called the "cooperative
classroom." These unique classroom comrnunities are facilitated by a classroom teacher, a
special needs educator and an instructional aide. The student enrolled within these rooms
experience daily the diversity that is our world today. A new Reading Incentive Program
sponsored by Domino's Pizza, an ongoing partnership with the Randolph Savings Bank and
a monthly Good Citizen Award Program continue to inspire children to advanced academic
achievement and personal responsibility. An active and generous PTO introduced our stu-
dents to a walk-a-thon as a means of generating educational enrichment funds. Their inau-
gural effort raised in excess of $11,000 for the Donovan School. Staff, students, parents and
guardians continue to strive to fulfill the school's mission statement and the goals of the
school district through their support of the school's Social Competency initiative and and
increased sensitivity to the State's Education Reform mandates.
KENNEDY SCHOOL
594 Students - Nancy Connelly, Principal
Currently, the Kennedy School maintains an enrollment of approximately 514 stu-
dents in grades K-6. Also included this year is Randolph's Preschool program which serves
approximately eighty three and four-year olds For the past several years, the Kennedy
School has also been the site for a bilingual cluster program serving the language needs of
Asian students throughout the town. An early morning and after school extended day pro-
gram continues under the direction of South Shore Day Care. Additional activities which
enrich the academic program include "Nature's Classroom", a week long outdoor learning
experience for fifth and sixth graders held in New Hampshire; "Family Math", an evening
program for parents of second and fourth graders where parents and their children jointly
explore hands-on activities; "PACT" (Parents and Children Together), a home reading pro-
gram for kindergarten and first grade; an After School Activities Program run by the PTO
which provides both academic and enrichment activities; and the "Peer Mediation Program",
a conflict resolution activity for upper grade students.

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
LYONS SCHOOL
395 Students - Linda Gautreau, Principal
Several unique programs are included at the school. "Reading At Home: Reading
After Hours," in which students are required to read for 15 minutes on a daily basis, is a
very successful program wherein we are striving for 100% participation. Daily planners are
being used by our fourth through sixth grade students in order to become better organized.
The Harcourt Brace math series is being implemented by all teachers this year. Critical
thinking activities are part of the daily lessons. Social Competency assists students in solv-
ing problems and helps students to prevent conflicts. Grade one children work successfully
with upper grade students, reinforcing classroom skills.
YOUNG SCHOOL
400 Students - Annette C. Bailey, Principal
"Reading: A Passport to Life" is a program designed specifically to keep students
reading at home. We have begun a concentration in the lower grades, with plans in place to
continue with the older students. Social Competency - the Open Circle concept is one of the
ways we teach children to resolve conflicts and problem-solve. We continue to "Catch
Students Being Good," identifying and congratulating those students exhibiting random acts
of kindness, making good choices, and most often, doing what they are supposed to do. This
year we began a sixth grade chorus and we look forward to many concerts and assemblies
featuring sixth grade. After school activities designed to enhance the curriculum through
various mini "fun" courses are offered.
TOWER HILL SCHOOL
301 Students - Mildred Rent, Principal
The school houses 16 of the 19 kindergarten classes in Randolph. Students are pro-
vided with a developmentally appropriate and challenging curriculum to meet a wide range
of individual needs. Our curriculum has been enhanced by monthly presentations that are
sponsored through our PTO Cultural Enrichment Program and the addition of a new math
program. PACT (Parents and Children Together) is a home reading program that promotes
early literacy. Several guest authors will be working with children to develop an early appre-
ciation of literature and journal writing and students receive computer instruction from a
technology specialist. The school has a new playground and the final phase will be complet-
ed early this spring. The school provides various family support services including monthly
newsletters, screenings, referrals, parenting workshops, and many opportunities for families
to fully participate in their child's early education.
RANDOLPH COMMUNITY MIDDLE SCHOOL
717 Students - Margaret S. Menear, Principal
The former North Junior High School reopened on September 1, 1999 as the newly
refurbished/constructed Randolph Community Middle School. Teachers worked during the
spring, early and late summer at the school to prepare for students' transition to a new
school. Teams of teachers developed team procedures and policies and aligned the curricu-
lum to provide meaningful learning connections for students, thereby facilitating a smooth
transition to the new middle school. In addition to the challenging curriculum offerings,
161
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
after school activities have included the National Junior Honor Society, clubs for
French, Science, Art and Homework. Additionally, the Music program provides many lively
opportunities for students as they participate in Jazz and/or Concert Band and Chorus.
The School Council has begun preliminary work on our School Improvement Plan
with the understanding that the school needs to operate for a year before identifying neces-
sary improvements. The successful start of the 1999-2000 school year can be attributed to
the efforts of many committed community members, staff, parents and students.
Eighty two percent of the Class of 1999 will continue their education at public and
private colleges across America. Meanwhile, we continue to offer a wide variety of chal-
lenging and demanding educational opportunities with over 300 courses being offered and
the number of advanced placement courses increasing. The Community Service Program
continues to grow with approximately 4,000 hours contributed by our students during the
past year. The opening of the new middle school has resulted in a return to a grade 9-12 stu-
dent body.
A notable achievement this year was the establishment of a digital photo identifica-
tion card for all teachers, students and staff. Other achievements included the Student
Alliance Against Racism & Violence being honored as one of the three best high school
chapters in New England, the Music department winning national recognition as well as
gold and silver medals at the Washington DC High School Music Festival, the Math Team
continuing a tradition of excellence by qualifying for the state championship for the seventh
consecutive year, and the National Honor Society being recognized by the Massachusetts
Secondary School Principals' Association as an Outstanding Chapter for the second consec-
utive year.

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE
BLUE HILLS REGIONAL VOCATIONAL
SCHOOL DISTRICT COMMITTEE
The Blue Hills Regional District School Committee is pleased to submit its Annual
Report to the residents of the Town of Randolph.
In its 34th year, Blue Hills Regional maintains its commitment to provide rigorous
academic and technical instruction to district students at the high school and post-graduate
levels. As a result of the excellent instruction and committed students, the programs and stu-
dents earned many awards and recognitions during the 1998-99 school year.
Signifying the excellence in the teaching staff at Blue Hills, Math/Science instruc-
tor Dr. Michael Meyers was nominated for two separate teaching awards. A student's nomi-
nation earned Dr. Meyers an Honorable Mention from The 21st Century publication, a jour-
nal written by and for high school students nationwide. The awards were given based on
articles written by students for the teacher's impact on the students. Senior Tricia Graves of
Braintree commended Dr. Meyers for the commitment and compassion he demonstrates on
a daily basis. He also received an anonymous nomination for the Department of Education's
Teacher of the Year 2000, for which Dr. Meyers received a certificate of recognition.

Humanity home in Randolph.
The Health Occupations Nurse's Aide Program earned accreditation by the
National Academy of Early Childhood Programs (NAECP), a division of the National
Association for the Education of Young Children. Four Randolph residents earned their

tion in every occupational area.
The Graphics Communications Departments earned industry awards from the
Providence Graphic Arts Association in the 1998 Gallery of Printing Excellence Awards.
Awards included a First Place in the Respond Folders Category for the four-color process of

school's appointment book.
Blue Hills held its annual career fair, attracting more than 50 area businesses,
unions and professional organizations.
The school awarded the Workforce Development Recognition Award to Reilly
Electrical Contractors, Inc. (RELCO), of Westwood for its ongoing generosity and associa-
tion with Blue Hills' Electrical Department. Michael McSheffrey, Vice President of
Operations, accepted the award on RELCO's behalf during the annual Advisory Committee
Dinner and Meeting. Each year this award recognizes a member of the business community
that demonstrates outstanding commitment to the school.
Through the help of former Blue Hills graduate and Advisory committee member
Charles Lenhart, Joseph Downey Chevrolet of Canton generously donated a $4,000 Sioux

Concord granted Blue Hills four software packages valued at $4,000 each for use in the
Drafting and General Drawing departments.

son with the Mayflower League Championship. The Hockey Team advanced to the semi-
final round of the Division 3 playoffs, but lost to Hanover in that match-up.
In keeping with the comprehensive school improvement plan, which included
improving and updating Blue Hills facilities, plans for renovation of the school's library
began. Completion date is estimated to be the summer of 2000. The Chateau de Bleu
Restaurant began the year with a sleeker look and a revised menu.
166
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
The Department of Education sent a program review team to the school in the
spring for a routine evaluation of five areas: Special Education, Title One, Nutrition, Civil
Rights, and Perkins Programs. A subsequent written report gave Blue Hills high praise.
Administrators called for a voluntary review of the school's science curriculum.
The new state admission standards for colleges and universities challenged the school's sci-
ence requirements for college-bound seniors. The overall focus of the review was to deter-
mine how the school's curriculum compares to member town's municipal high schools, to
the state's curriculum framework, and to the board of higher education admission standards.
Dr. William Hagar, Professor of biology from UMASS/Boston, concluded that the Blue
Hills program is "in concert with the goals and objectives of the Massachusetts
Science/Technology Curriculum Framework," and compares impressively when viewed
with the member town high school programs. With regards to science credit requirements,
Dr. Hagar resolved that science studied within the vocational areas should perhaps be con-
sidered as valid science credits. He advised more research be conducted in order that addi-
tional science is considered to meet the Massachusetts College & University admissions
requirements.
Enrollment in the high school was 797. Randolph residents totaled 215. A total of
forty-eight postgraduate students were enrolled, with six of them from Randolph. The num-
ber of Randolph students attending Blue Hills has ranged from 225 to 236 over the past five
years. The Superintendent's expectations are that Randolph enrollment in Blue Hills will
level off at between 900 and 950 students.
Placement for graduates was impressive, as usual. Forty-five percent of the gradu-
ates were placed in jobs while 52% continued on to college and 3% entered the military.
A state dropout report showed Blue Hills' 1998-99 rate of 1.8% falls below the
state average of 2.9% for vocational schools and 3.4% for comprehensive high schools.
The popular Continuing Education Program remains self-supporting as enrollment
continues to rise. With more than 40 courses from cooking to computer technology available
to the public at large. Continuing Ed also offers skill enhancement and other educational
programs for the business community to meet workforce demands. The school year enroll-
ment total was 1054, with 43 of them from Randolph.
The public continues to be invited and encouraged to make use of our facilities and
participate in our public programs. The pool program attracted more than 2,000 participants.
The student operated restaurant, the Chateau de Bleu served lunches and sold bakery items
on a daily basis. The Salon also served the public, offering affordable salon services per-
formed by the cosmetology students.
Summer exploratory camp held three sessions, all at or near capacity.
Taxpayers again saved significant money through special projects for the munici-
palities, residents, and civic organizations. The town and its residents saved approximately
$7000 in work performed by Blue Hills Occupational areas. Projects included printing, vehi-
cle repairs, metal fabrication, and building maintenance. Special letters of thanks were
received from the Town of Canton for a drafting project performed by Blue Hills students
167
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
and the Norwell State Police Barracks for Auto Body's work refinishing a police
car. Construction Technology students built large additions to homes in Canton and
Braintree.
Blue Hills' Grant Writer succeeded in obtaining many grants for fiscal 1999. These
grants relieve the pressure on tight town budgets and enhance the programs the school can
offer its students. $621,003 was received through competitive and non-competitive grants.
Superintendent Wilfrid J. Savoie scheduled meetings with state legislators and fed-
eral lawmakers in Washington D.C. to discuss vocational education issues and funding. Mr.
Savoie reported that the government supports vocational-technical education. He also said
that he is optimistic that the support will strongly continue.
Milton's Philip Kliman served as the District School Committee's Chairman for
the 1998-99 school year. The District School Committee meets on the first and third
Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the District Board Room at the school at 800
Randolph Street, Canton. The public is invited to attend. The following made up the 1998-

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT
As Randolph enters the new millennium we have much to be thankful for.
We have seen the addition of five officers just a few months ago and we now have
more officers assigned to patrol procedures than ever before.
Our Detective Division continues to focus on new ways to support and expand the
investigative operation of the department. Two detectives recently returned from a week
long school in Florida for Computer Voice Stress Analysis, and with forfieted drug seizure
monies-we have purchased the unit and paid for the training and expenses at no cost to the
Town. The unit has already proven itself with some very sensitive investigations.
Domestic Violence continues to be a problem for the police. Proactive intervention
and enforcement has long been used by your police officers in cooperating with Probation
Officers, the Courts and representatives from the District Attorney's Office. They all work
very hard to protect the victims.
Our Safety Officer Bob LeGrice is working very closely with neighbors throughout
the Town on quality of life issues to make neighborhoods free of unsightly junk cars and
clutter on private property. Almost all people will voluntarily rid the property if given
enough time and options for disposal. The Board of Selectmen have taken a strong stance on
By-Law violators.
Alcohol violations at liquor establishments have dropped significantly due to the
Board of Selectmen policy that was adopted and the diligence of the alcohol license holders
along with direction from Executive Secretary Paul Connors. Many important cooperative
initiatives have been undertaken by the Selectmen and I think we all seek safer ways to pro-
tect our citizens.
Federal and State Grants continue to assist with many changes that we would not
be able to undertake within our operational budget yearly. I do not look forward to the day
when this source of revenue is no longer available.
The Randolph Lions Club donated a portable defibrillator for cruiser patrol and all
appropriate officers have been trained in the use. We are awaiting approval from the Office
of Emergency Medical Services before the actual installation for cruiser patrol.
We remain committed to making Randolph not only a safer community but one that
all of our citizens will be proud of for generations to come.
I would like to thank the many Boards, Commissions and Committees that work
very hard to make our town a safer place to raise our families.
To the other Town Employees a sincere thank you for all that you do for the Police
Department and the Town in general.

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
A special thank you to my brother/sister police officers who risk their lives daily to
make our town as safe as it is today, I wish them well into the new millennium.

ONE HUNDRED AND SDCTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT
Please accept the following as the report of your fire department for the year end-
ing December 3 1 . 1999.
Another event filled year has come and gone, our calls received and responses have
increased by nearly twenty percent and we continually strive to provide the best service pos-
sible to the public we serve.
The renovation work on Central station was completed: the new apparatus TEngine
1 delivered in the summer of 1998 and Ladder 1 delivered in Januar\' 1999) are both in ser-
vice. The two Expeditions that we put into service during the summer have proven to be a
better than expected addition to the department. These vehicles are capable of carn'ing
equipment that would not normally fit in a passenger car, saving the need of a second piece
of equipment being called to many minor incidents.
With the addition the assistant Fire Prevention Officer we have increased the num-
ber of inspections and the intensity of these inspections. This effort has revealed many prob-
lems that had previously gone unnoticed. By investigating and correcting these potentially
dangerous situations, we feel we have not only saved the town money, but also, just possibly
saved some of our citizens from injury or loss of life. We will continue to develop and pre-
sent effective fire prevention programs to all of our citizens.
As the year drew to a close a very tragic event occurred in the City of Worcester.
The evening of December 3rd will never be forgotten in fire station across this
Commonwealth and across the nation. We lost six of our brother firefighters. At this time I
would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the members of this department who repre-
sented the Town of Randolph at the memorial ser\ ices. To the Officers and Firefighters who
responded to Worcester to man their stations, and took part in the search and recovery, a
ver>' heart felt thank you. One only needed to look into the eyes of the families, and the sur-
viving Worcester firefighters, to know how much this out pouring of assistance and caring
meant to them.
As many fire experts have said, this type of tragedy could happen at any time, in
any city or town, state or country. As much as we try to keep our firefighters trained and
aware of the extremely dangerous situation they are placed in whenever they enter a burning
building, there is always the possibility of something going wrong. We must continue to
provide our firefighters with the latest and best equipment, and protective clothing available,
and give them the training needed to perform the tasks they are asked to do.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the Boards, Departments,
Committees, and Commissions for their continued support.

REPORT OF THE
TRAINING OFFICER
During this past year we have been very fortunate to have accepted delivery of a
new aerial tower. The versatility and complexities of this equipment has required our mem-
bers to spend many long hours of specialized training to use this vehicle to its fullest capa-
bilities. It will prove to be a valuable asset to our community.
To remain at the highest level of emergency medical service, all members have
completed all continuing education and recertification requirements mandated by the
Massachusetts Office of Emergency Medical Services for both BLS and ALS levels.
Our Fire Prevention office has attended seminars and training classes at State and
local facilities to remain current in the latest fire and building code changes. This training
has involved subjects such as Sprinkler and Fire Detection Plan Review, Arson Interrogation
and Interview, and TerrorismAVeapons of Mass Destruction Awareness Training.
Two members of this department are members of the Massachusetts District One
Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Team. They receive specialized training in this
area at monthly drills.
As we enter a new millennium the responsibilities and duties of the fire service will
continue to change as technology advances. Our members are the backbone of this depart-
ment and their ability to meet these challenges must be supplemented with the latest
resources, safety improvements, and training information available.
Many members have taken additional training at national, state, and private facili-
ties to improve their ability to serve you. I thank them and all the members of the Randolph
Fire Department for their continued commitment and dedication to their training and to each
other. Their efforts are second to none.
Respectfully submitted,
Deputy Chief Charles D. Foley Jr.

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE
BOARD OF HEALTH - 1999
COMMUNICABLE DISEASES: Salmonella (5), Campylobacter (7), Giardia (4),
Hepatitis (16), Tuberculosis (5), Pertussis (3), Shigella (2), Lymes Disease (1). All
reportable communicable diseases must have a thorough investigation completed by the
Public Health Nurse. Confidential reports are completed and kept at the Board of Health as
well as the State Department of Public Health, Center for Disease Control (C.D.C.) in
Atlanta, Georgia.
PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING AND CLINICAL PROGRAMS
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS: Education is an integral part of all clinics and
office visits. This year Police Officer LeGrice gave a talk to senior citizens at Decelle
Housing Complex on personal safety, household safety and avoiding scams. The Public
Health Nurse also gave a talk on Skin Care including the effects of aging on skin and pre-
venting sun damage. Attendees were urged to contact a Dermatologist if any changes in skin
integrity are noted.
INFLUENZA IMMUNIZATIONS: 2690 Randolph residents received the Flu
Vaccine at 9 various clinics with locations throughout the town. All Randolph residents who
are senior citizens or residents at high risk for influenza, e.g. those with diabetes, kidney dis-
ease or chronic lung disease, are eligible for the vaccine. Make-up and evening clinics were
held for those unable to attend other clinics. The Ladies Library Association, as in past
years, provided the necessary manpower to maintain orderly clinics and document statistics
for the Board of Health. All clinics are free of charge.
PNEUMONIA IMMUNIZATIONS: 1999 was the fifth year in which a two day
clinic was held at the Town Hall providing 54 residents with pneumovax vaccine. This clinic
is free.
SCHOOL IMMUNIZATIONS: During March and April, 1999 the Public Health
Nurses provided sixth grade students with Hepatitis B and Measles, Mumps and Rubella
(MMR) immunizations to ensure students met current State Regulations. Beginning
September 1, 1999 the Public Health Nurse provides educational input and vaccine supplies
to the school nurses who administer the vaccines to the students. School nurses complete
official documents which will be stored at the Board of Health at the end of the school year.
During the year 1999, 65 students missed the school-based clinics and received their immu-
nizations at the Board of Health by appointment. Documentation of each immunization is
given to parents, the school nurses, State Department of Public Health and the Randolph
Board of Health. All immunizations are free.
COMPREHENSIVE HYPERTENSION CLINIC: (Ages 30-64) These blood
pressure clinics were held the second and fourth Thursday each month (excluding summer
months and holidays) at the Board of Health Office from 6 PM to 8 PM. The goal of this
clinic was to provide blood pressure screening to those working during the day. From
January 1, 1999 to June 30, 1999, 37 patients were screened, all of whom were Randolph
residents. The clinics were free. These clinics were discontinued after June 30 due to low
attendance and the retirement of Mickie Condon, P.H.N, which left only one part-time regis-
tered nurse.
183
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
KEEP- WELL CLINICS: (Ages 65 and over) 529 patients were screened at 48
clinics during the year. 38 patients were found to have blood pressures above acceptable lev-
els. 21 new patients were enrolled this year. These clinics are held every Wednesday at alter-
nate elderly housing complexes. One does not have to be a resident of the housing complex
to attend the clinics but must be a Randolph resident. All clinics are free.
TUBERCULOSIS TESTING/CASES: 97 patients of various ages had TB skin
testing at the Board of Health during 1999. This test is done by the Public Health Nurse and
evaluated 48 - 72 hours later. All results are kept on file at the Board of Health and a copy
given to the patient. Some people were tested as a requirement of a job or school, some as
contacts of active TB cases and some as a routine testing mandatory for some recent immi-
grants. All patients who test positive are referred to local hospitals for chest X-rays and
physician evaluation. There were 5 new active TB cases this year and more than 50 Class 2
(non-active) TB contacts. TB patients require teaching, home visits and monitoring of med-
ication compliance. Randolph remains in the high risk category for Tuberculosis.
DISTRIBUTION OF BIOLOGICS: 5386 doses of various vaccines and serums
were received from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. These were distributed
to private physicians, medical centers, nursing homes and/or used at public health clinics.
The Board of Health nurse must order, pick-up the vaccines/serums at the regional depot in
Lakeville, distribute them and keep accurate records of all vaccines. The nurse must also
keep doctors and clinics abreast of the latest changes in any public health/immunization reg-
ulations.
WELL BABY CLINIC: At the request of local hospitals or new parents newborn
babies are visited at home and evaluated for age appropriate reflexes and wellness. Support
and teaching is offered to the new parents. This year only 2 babies were screened.
OFFICE PATIENTS: 584 visits to the Board of Health Office were made in 1999
by patients requiring allergy shots. Vitamin B12 shots, blood pressure or blood sugar moni-
toring, or TB skin testing. These patients, seen out of a clinic setting must have a physicians
written order, renewed annually, and pay a minimal fee of $2.00.
DIABETES SCREENING CLINICS: 57 patients were screened at 2 clinics
using a finger-stick monitor. 12 were found to have blood sugars above the acceptable range
indicating diabetes out of control or an unknown case of early diabetes. Patients with high
blood sugars were referred to their physicians. Clinics are free to Randolph residents.
POLICE BLOOD PRESSURE SCREENING CLINIC: From January 1, 1999
to June 30, 1999 monthly clinics were held at the Police Station. 112 blood pressure read-
ings were done in this six month period and 19 readings were above the acceptable range.
This clinic was discontinued June 30, 1999 when Mickie Condon, RN retired, which left the
Board of Health with only one part-time nurse.
DAY CARE AND NURSERY SCHOOLS: Immunization records of all children
in day care/nursery school, both private and public are reviewed annually on a random
selection by the Public Health Nurse. Children are excluded from day care/nursery school if
their immunizations are missing or delayed. Compliance with State Regulations is 90 -
100%.

again chaired a very successful Household Hazardous Waste Day which, as it also had the
previous year, received a great response from the Townspeople. The Town of Avon joined
with the Board of Health in this endeavor.
This program, and its ultimate success and popularity, is, as always, due in large
part to the volunteers who so generously give of their time at this annual event, which, as
always, includes the Randolph Auxiliary Police.

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE
THE NORFOLK COUNTY MOSQUITO CONTROL PROJECT
The operational program of the Project integrates all proven technologies into a
system of mosquito control that is rational, environmentally sensitive and cost effective.
All mosquito eggs need water to hatch and to sustain larval growth.
Water Management Projects: Our primary efforts are concentrated on the man-
agement of shallow, standing, stagnant water, and the maintenance of existing flow systems
which can contribute to mosquito breeding.
Drainage ditches cleaned 1,848 feet
Brush obstructing drainage cut 50 feet
Culverts checked and/or cleaned 26 culverts
Water Management by wide-track backhoes 250 feet
Larval Control: Treatment of mosquito larvae during aquatic development is the
next most effective control effort.
Larval control by backpack\briquets\mistblowers 83 acres
Adult Control: The suppression of flying adult mosquitoes becomes necessary
when they are numerous, annoying, and/or threatening to residents.
Adult control aerosol applications from trucks 1,820 acres
Surveys, inspections, and pre/post monitoring in support of our program include
locating and mapping breeding areas, larval and adult collections, and field work evalua-
tions leading to better water management.
NCMCP received 37 calls from residents for information and assistance. Calls were
low this year due to the drought in mid-summer which resulted in low mosquito counts.

PLUMBING & GAS INSPECTIONS
452 permits for gas installations were issued during 1999. As with plumbing
inspections, at least one inspection is necessary for each installation.
400 permits for plumbing installations were issued during the year. Each installa-
tion requires at least one inspection by the Plumbing Inspector.
Robert Eldridge was reelected in April for a three-year term.
Marilyn "Mickie" Condon, R.N. Public Health Nurse, retired effective July 1,
1999. Mrs. Condon has been an asset to the Randolph Board of Health since her arrival.
Though we wish her many years of happiness with her husband, children and grandchildren,
we are sorry to lose such a capable and personable employee. The best of luck and good
health to you and yours.
The reduction of the Public Health Nursing staff, now at an all-time low, is down to
one part-time nurse, Sandra Lamkin. The Board of Health will attempt to keep and maintain
as many of their Public Health Nursing Programs with Ms. Lamkin's assistance under these
difficult circumstances.

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE
Randolph Animal Shelter Committee Action League
(RASCAL)
Background information: In December 1998 residents of Randolph expressed con-
cern to the town Selectmen about the fate of unclaimed stray dogs. A petition was submitted
by the townspeople requesting the following:
- Hours that the pound be open to the public,
- The dogs that are available for adoption be listed in detail in any paper that
provides such a listing,
- A "Randolph Dog Pound" sign be placed outside the facility,
- Records be kept by the town documenting the number of dogs obtained by the
pound and the fate of those dogs.
In response, in April of 1999 the Selectmen appointed a thirteen-member commit-
tee charged with:
1 . Reviewing the current dog pound/animal shelter situation,
2. Reporting to the Board of Selectmen with proposals on siting (location) of an
animal shelter,
3. Determining the cost of acquiring the site,
4. Determining the cost of the building,
5. Determining the cost of sharing a shelter with another community,
6. Proposing a budget,
7. Determining cost of staffing versus volunteers.
RASCAL wishes to submit the following report and recommendations as
requested by the Randolph Selectmen:
1. Review of the current dog pound/animal shelter
The current dog pound is located on Canton Street, in the residence of Ms. Virginia
Jope. The dog pound is in a residential area on a modest piece of property, with abutting
neighbors. Ms. Jope is issued a kennel license to conduct the business of running a town dog
pound. Ms. Jope receives compensation in the form of a monthly stipend of $300.00 from
the town of Randolph and charges residents a boarding fee of $3.00 - $7.00 (there is some
191
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
dispute over the boarding fee charged) per dog each day that a dog is in her cus-
tody. The pohcy of the current pound does not allow for the viewing of the dogs that are
unclaimed and available for adoption. Dogs not adopted are taken to the MSPCA in
Brockton. The current pound policy also does not allow for volunteer staff, donations of
goods for the dogs, or signage.
2. Report to the Board of Selectmen with proposals on siting (location) of an
animal shelter
After a lengthy research process, 13 sites eligible for building an animal shelter
were submitted to the Selectmen for review. The Selectmen declined the sites offered and
suggested as alternatives:
a) The Tree Barn under the auspices of the DPW,
b) The former Nike site,
c) A collaboration with another local town.
The committee has investigated these alternatives and the findings are:
a) The Tree Bam under the auspices of the DPW: The DPW had declined the
use of the Tree Barn, later to table the issue at the request of J. Duddy of
RASCAL.
Alternatives suggested by the DPW included:
1. 741 North Main Street (map 23, block D, parcel .009) The committee
is receptive to this site should Randolph be willing to donate the prop-
erty for a shelter.
2. 272 Pond Street This property is owned by the Tri-town Water Board
and is presently rented to an occupant. The Committee is very recep-
tive to this location, if it is available.
3. The D.P.W. area behind the Sewer Station Yard. The use of this area
was offered by the D.P.W., for a time not to exceed 1 year. At this
time, a termination date of 1/1/2000 was put on the land usage. There
is presently no structure on the property. The limited time span for the
use of the land does not warrant the investment of money, effort, and
time required to build an animal shelter on this site.
b) The former Nike site. The committee has contacted state officials and the
MDC requesting that Randolph be allowed to use the former Nike site as
an animal shelter. The Committee has been verbally informed by the
MDC that the request will be denied. Written notification will be
forthcoming.
c) A collaboration with another local town RASCAL has opened a dialogue
192
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
with Officer Richard Stein at the Canton dog pound. The Canton pound
shelters both cats and dogs, welcomes donations from the pubhc, and pro-
actively works to promote the animals available for adoption. Officer
Stein is well acquainted with Officer Bustard and is very receptive to
working with Randolph. He finds the current stipend acceptable for the
use of the Canton shelter as a boarding facility. He is willing to negoiate
an immediate agreement to carry Randolph from the deadline of
December 31, 1999 through the first half of the fiscal year. Officer Stein
has requested a proposal from the town of Randolph and a meeting with
Officer Bustard to work out the details.
The option of collaboration with Canton is a viable and desirable short
term solution to the dog shelter problem, contingent on Randolph Dog
Officer Richard Bustard's approval. RASCAL will aid the Canton Dog
Pound with fund raising efforts to enlarge or modernize their facility to
accommodate additional dogs, if necessary. The Committee recommends
that the long-term goal continue to be an animal shelter for the town
of Randolph.
d) Consider collaborating with the Randolph Animal Hospital to house
Randolph's stray dog population. Officer Bustard has worked with the
Randolph Animal Hospital in the past. It has a central location in the town
and already has kennel facilities.
Again if this option is taken, RASCAL urges this to be a short term
solution to the dog shelter problem. The long term goal of a town animal
shelter for both cats and dogs should be continued to be explored.
3. The cost of acquiring the site. The cost of securing a site can only be calculated when
an appropriate site is located.
RASCAL has the following recommendations for acquiring sites at little or no
cost to the town:
A) Pursue the options of private land donations or long term leases.
Randolph should publicly advertise the need to town residents, devel-
opers and businesses. Incentives, such as tax reductions could be
offered by the town to encourage donations.
B) Reexamine the possibility of using town land.
C) Open the current pound keeper position to the residents of Randolph
as a short-term solution. Although the town stipend could not sustain a
larger, multi-service animal shelter, it is sufficient for a small, residen-
tial boarding kennel. RASCAL is confident that there are residents of
Randolph who would apply for the position of pound keeper under the
current conditions.
193
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
Officer Bustard, in his 1998 review at the March 8, 1999 Selectmen's meeting
reported that 145 dogs were picked up by the Town of Randolph. Of these, 9 went
unclaimed to the MSPCA. It was Officer Bustard's opinion that these 9 dogs were unadopt-
able. In Officer Bustard's experience, these figures represent a typical year.
Based upon this data from 1998, the position of Randolph dog pound represents a
business that is financially competitive with other local commercial boarding kennels. In
addition to charging an established flat daily boarding rate, the town of Randolph also pro-
vides a stipend of $300.00 monthly. The average length of stay at the pound was 1 or 2 days.
Given that less than one dog per month is unclaimed, the pound owner must absorb only the
cost of 10 days of unpaid boarding per month (by Massachusetts law, the minimum length
of time which a dog must be held is 10 days). This cost is more than compensated in the
$300.00 monthly stipend. In addition, a pound that is receptive to volunteer staff and prod-
uct donations would further defer the operating costs.
4. The cost of the building
If the Town of Randolph is willing to donate a site to have its animal shelter built
upon, the cost of securing the site will be minimal and at the discretion of the Town of
Randolph. Without a location site, the cost of building is impossible to estimate. However,
RASCAL has found that the Town of Holbrook built their shelter for approximately
$20,000.00 and the grant writer for the Town of Plymouth was able to obtain a grant of
$150,000.00 for the Plymouth shelter.
5. The cost of sharing a shelter with another community
The town of Canton is receptive to collaborating with Randolph and has requested
a proposal. The RASCAL committee will pursue this option contingent on Dog Officer
Richard Bustard's approval. See 2. C on page 2 for additional information.
6. The proposed operating budget (options)
a) Short term
• Continue the currently budgeted $300.00 monthly stipend to a new
residential kennel.
• The currently budgeted fee per dog as required by the Brockton
MSPCA
• A cost to be determined for boarding with a neighboring town
b) Long term
The goal is to have a town owned animal shelter in Randolph. The
operating budget is impossible to predict without a building.
At a minimum, the committee would expect the current stipend of
$300.00 to be contributed to the operation of town shelter. We would
194
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
request that the Selectmen consider using some of the funds from the dog
fines to support the sheher in the future.
7. The cost of staffing versus volunteers:
The most cost-effective solution would be a skeleton staff that can oversee a corps
of volunteers. We have student programs and senior programs that may be interested in the
opportunity of helping the town and it's stray animal population. This may include every-
thing from fund raising to animal care,

The Randolph Animal Shelter Committee appreciates the opportunity to work
toward our goal of an animal shelter for the town of Randolph. We extend our appreciation
to the Selectmen, the guests at our meetings, Reporter Fred Hanson, the town Engineers and
DPW, and everyone who has made a contribution, or offered support for these efforts. Our
hope for Randolph is to be a town without homeless dogs and cats.

ONE HUNDRED AND SDCTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE
RANDOLPH PLANNING BOARD
Over the past year the Planning Board held 33 public meetings concerning every-
thing from subdivision control to making recommendations for zoning. Attendance at those
meetings was perfect. Among the items that were discussed were possible zoning changes,
proposed changes to our Rules and Regulations, recommendations to developers, as well as
providing necessary information for the residents of our town.
This past year also brought out a renewed interest in our community, the on going
development of our new Master Plan. There were 39 meetings held between the Study
Committee and our consultant John Brown Associates of Cambridge, Massachusetts. This is
a very exciting time for the members of this committee as well as for the residents of
Randolph. The amount of public interest that this project has generated has been both over-
whelming and refreshing. The final draft of the Master Plan should be in our hands by July
of this year. Then the real work will begin!
In closing I would like to thank the members of the Planning Board for their hard
work and dedication over the past year. I would like to thank the Master Plan Study
Committee, the Department of Public Works, the Board of Selectman, and Town Counsel
for all of the direction given over this past year. A special thank you has to go out to our sec-
retary Paula McCarthy and to our Town Engineer, Steve Leaverault, for handling all of those
questions that need to be answered.
Respectfully,

REPORT OF THE
BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
A major project of the Randolph Business and Industrial Commission was the
booklet on the town's demographics. The book is available for distribution to current and
prospective businesses, industrial developers or managers and others showing an interest in
the Town of Randolph.
The Randolph Business and Industrial Commission is currently working to estab-
lish a financial program that might assist the smaller business in Randolph to expand facili-
ties or product lines. The program may bring additional jobs into our community.
The Commission has assisted businesses relocate in Randolph, and help them deal
with town boards. We have coordinated and officiated at many grand opening events.
Members have rendered assistance wherever and whenever needed by the business commu-
nity.
Your Business and Industrial Commission has met on a monthly basis with great
enthusiasm and participation of the membership, while making inroads for the benefit of the
community as a whole.
The Randolph Business and Industrial Commission was saddened by the anniver-
sary of the passing of our long-time chairman, leader and friend, Herbert A. White.

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE
METROPOLITAN AREA PLANNING COUNCIL
The Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) is the regional planning agency
that serves 10 1 communities in the metropolitan Boston area. It was created by an act of the
state legislature in 1963 and has been serving its communities in a variety of ways since that
time. The Council is composed of one representative from each of the 101 communities
appointed by the CEOs of each of these cities and towns. In addition there are 21 gubernato-
rial appointees and 14 agency (such as the DEM, Mass Port and MBTA) appointees on the
Council. The 25 member elected Executive Committee meets 11 times a year. The full
Council meets three times a year. Meetings are held at various localities throughout the
region.
In order to serve its communities better, MAPC has organized eight subregions.
These groups are composed of representatives from the member communities and a MAPC
staff planner. The subregions meet on a regular basis to discuss and work on issues of local
concern. There are 24 member communities in the Inner Core subregion - the largest of all
the eight subregions. The group focuses on various planning issues at their meetings, which
are held at MAPC the first Wednesday of each month. At each meeting there is usually a
featured speaker, an update on legislation from MAPC, and a brainstorming session. In addi-
tion, the group periodically visits local communities to view new projects. This year they
visited the new federal courthouse and the new Maiden schools. Topics discussed this year
include: traffic calming, mansionization, promoting commercial areas, affordable housing,
historic landscape preservation, brownfield legislation. Transportation Improvement Plan
and others.
On the region wide scale MAPC is involved with so many programs and issues that
it is not possible to mention them all. However, the following list should give some idea of
the breadth of activities, responsibilities and challenges the agency has met over the past
year.
Buildout Analysis Projects
MAPC is continuing its work with local communities on Buildout Analysis. Last
year MAPC developed a GIS methodology for these community buildouts. This work came
to the attention of EOEA who saw it as a good tool to help communities focus on their local
growth potential. Subsequently, EOEA decided to fund buildouts for all Massachusetts com-
munities. They have contracted with MAPC and other agencies to do the work. Everyone is
using the MAPC methodology. MAPC expects to complete 47 buildouts this fiscal year. The
work on the remaining communities will be done the following year.
The purpose of a buildout study is to create an approximate "vision" in quantitative
terms, of the potential future growth permitted and encouraged by a community's bylaws.
Using maps, a buildout analysis can describe the level, type, and location of such potential
future growth. The result is only an estimate of a possible future for the communities, but it
helps residents and public officials to develop an understanding of the implications of cur-
rent zoning regulations. If the level or type of potential future development shown in the
198
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
buildout analysis is not consistent with the community's goals or vision for the
future, the residents may choose to make appropriate changes to the regulations.
Regional Service Initiative
MAPC has worked with local officials to establish three consortia in the North
Shore, the North Suburban, and the South Shore areas. The groups have applied for state
funding, but at this point the project is supported totally by local funds. The North Shore and
North Suburban are sharing the services of a regional coordinator who has an office in
Salem State College. The South Shore has a part time coordinator who works out of the
Hingham Town Hall. Initially, regional coordinators will concentrate on joint purchasing of
supplies and services. These Joint purchases are expected to show immediate and significant
savings. Municipal managers have expressed interest in regional human resources services,
including training. Gradually many other municipal services will become likely candidates
for regional delivery approaches.
Southeastern Massachusetts Vision 2020
MAPC is continuing its work with the Old Colony Planning Council and the
Southeastern Regional Planning and Economic Development District on the initiative to
address uncontrolled sprawl and improve management of the rapid changes occurring in this
region of the Commonwealth. The project recognizes that important choices lie ahead for
the communities of southeastern Massachusetts and that a clear vision for the future will
lead to more effective decision-making.
The group has prepared a report: Vision 2020: An Agenda for the Future. This
report deals with the facts, trends and issues confronting the region, ending with a strategy
for action. The report was finished this spring. The committee is now making the contents of
the report known, throughout the region by the way of a slide show.
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy
MAPC is responsible for producing a Comprehensive Economic Development
Strategy (CEDS) for the Boston region, in order to meet the requirements of the federal
Economic Development Administration (EDA).
MAPC communities have this opportunity to identify an economic development
vision, and an action plan and implementation steps which include local and regional, priori-
ty projects. The completed CEDS will be the blueprint for future economic development
projects and funding from a wide variety of public, nonprofit and private sources. The strat-
egy will also address economic development-related issues such as transportation and hous-
ing projects and the environmental impacts of development.
1-495 Initiative
Through the 1-495 Initiative, MAPC continues to work cooperatively with the
Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, legislators, and companies and communities near
the fast- growing 1-495 Corridor. The Project is funded in part by the U.S. Department of
Economic Development. The goal is to develop innovative solutions to the challenges of
199
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
growth, business competitiveness, local fiscal stability, and resource protection.
This year, the Initiative hosted its second major regional conference, achieved $250,000 in
federal funding for a regional transportation study and ridesharing incentives, began a web-
based clearinghouse and virtual technical assistance center, assisted in the formation of a
six-community Assabet River Consortium, and facilitated public-private dialogue about
alternative technologies, reverse commuting, and more predictable permitting.
Welfare to Work
MAPC is the grant recipient of a U.S Department of Labor Welfare-to-Work Grant.
MAPC brings an innovative and collaborative approach to assisting low-income job seekers
overcome systemic transportation barriers. By linking employers, workforce development
agencies, and transportation providers, the project has improved access to existing mass
transit, identified major employment centers that lack access, and offered innovative support
where public transportation is not feasible. MAPC has convened a unique collaboration that
provides employment transportation for low-income communities.
Metropolitan Affairs Coalition
MAPC is serving as the staff of the Metropolitan Affairs Coalition, (MAC). MAC
grew out of the Challenge To Leadership, a twelve year effort initiated by Cardinal Law.
Church leaders along with business, labor, academic, public sector, and other non-profit
organizations help define a civic agenda for the city and the region. The MAC is designed to
give a depth and an on-going presence to issues that have a metropolitan scope. The initial
issue that the MAC is addressing is housing in the metropolitan region.

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE
MUNICIPAL SPACE NEEDS COMMITTEE
The year of 1999 has been a very busy and active one for the MSNC, working on
the completion of the Central Fire Station and the evaluation and design of the North
Randolph Fire Station. An additional project was completed, overseeing the repair of joists
and flooring at the Recreation Department's office on Carlino Way. PHP Company complet-
ed the work in August of 1999.
Many meetings were held with our architect Strekalovsky & Hoit of Hingham, and
their representatives Carl Pearson and Roger Hoit. After various designs were submitted and
a cost was estimated it was decided by the committee, with the input of Strekalovsky &
Hoit, that the town would be better off tearing down the old fire station and reconstructing a
new one on the property. Strekalovsky & Hoit prepared drawings and pictures and an infor-
mational presentation was held at the Design Review Board's meeting. The Design Review
Board was impressed with our presentation and recommended it as acceptable by their com-
mittee. We then held an informational meeting at the Randolph High School for the general
public, we mailed out invitations to all the abutters and advertised the meeting in the local
papers.
The article for this project was put in the Special Town Meeting but was withdrawn
as the town did not have the money to fund it at the present time. Also at the Special Town
Meeting we sponsored an article for an additional $21,000.00 for completion of the Central
Fire Station project. This article was passed by the special town meeting.
The Central Fire Station renovation was dedicated on May 12, 1999 in honor of
retired, former Fire Chief Robert D. Teece.
The MSNC wishes to thank the Board of Selectmen, Executive Secretary, Paul
Connors, Administrative Assistant to the Board of Selectmen Linda Sproules, Surveyor,
Don Rosa, Fire Chief, Richard Wells, Building Commissioner, Mary McNeil and the
Finance Committee for all their assistance.

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE
PERSONNEL BOARD
The Personnel Board herewith submits its Annual Report of its operations for the
calendar year 1999 to the citizens of the Town of Randolph.
We serve the town and its employees on a daily basis through interpretation and
implementation of mandated by-laws. As examples, we have, this year, approved salary
adjustments for the Sealer of Weights and Measures, the Library Director, Assistant Library
Director and Public Service Reference Librarian. Additionally we approved a full-time sta-
tus for the Wiring Inspector and an adjustment in hours and salary for the Plumbing and Gas
Inspector.
We take our responsibilities, both moral and legal, very seriously and take these
into account on the many decisions that we are called upon to render. In this regard, we, at
various times throughout this year, approved an extended sick leave for an employee in
need, approved leave under the federally mandated Family Medical Leave Act for two
employees and denied extended sick leave in one case for lack of proper documentation. We
also counseled several employees through personal situations that impacted their employ-
ment with the Town.
One of the most important problems that face any employer is that of employee
turnover. We were faced this year with several resignations and retirements, both of which
require great effort in recruiting through postings, advertisements, screening and Civil
Service procedures. The processing of new employees through orientation and training is
also a time-consuming effort.
Town bylaws mandate that the Personnel Board provide training for its employees
on an ongoing basis. We are grateful that the 1999 Annual Town Meeting recognized this
reality and provided us with funds to conduct training sessions for our employees through-
out the fiscal year. In November, we provided a 3 hour training session for all department
heads in Sexual Harassment Avoidance. Future sessions are planned for early 2000 on
Domestic Violence in the Workplace and general management training.
Communication with outside agencies is an important part of our operation. We are
constantly in contact with other personnel departments, participating in surveys of salaries,
fringe benefits and other working conditions, so that we are in tune and being equitable for
both the Town and its employees. In this regard, we faithfully report to various federal and
state entities, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of
Health and Human Services, the Department of Employment and Training, and the
Department of Personnel Administration as well as many others.
As mandated by Town bylaw, we held two Public Hearings in preparation for the
1999 Annual Town Meeting and the Special Town Meeting held in November. We presented
eleven articles to the Annual Town Meeting regarding wording changes to the Personnel
Bylaws and several other articles regarding pay and hour adjustments. One article provided
a salary increase for all employees and another defined employees entitled to health insur-
202
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
ance benefits with the Town. All articles presented at the Annual Town Meeting
were met with success. The Special Town Meeting in November was not as successful. We
attempted to present several amendments to the bylaws, which are long overdue, but Town
Meeting decided that it did not agree with all twenty articles. These will be revised and pre-
sented at some later date.
We are pleased to report that our computer system is now 100% functional in the
tracking of all employee data. The subsystem provides us with attendance information
which tracks sick and vacation time for all employees.
As we look forward to the year 2000, we see much work ahead. Such tasks will
include the continuing revision of the bylaws, benefit coordination, revisiting the Town's
sick leave policies, and striving to do the best job possible for the Town of Randolph.
Once again, we wish to thank the Board of Selectmen, Town Counsel, the
Executive Secretary, the Town Accountant and the Administrative Assistant to the Board of
Selectmen for their support and assistance throughout the year.

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE
DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
In April of 1999, the Board of Selectmen sponsored Article six of the annual town
meeting to amend the code of the Town of Randolph by adding sections 200-91 to 200-95
which would establish a Design Review Board. They came forward in response to the lack
of control of new development and how that was affecting the face of the community. It had
become abundantly clear from the community reaction to the new Walgreen's specifically,
and eventually the McDonalds project that the time had come for a review approval process
for building design and landscaping plans, signage and site alterations for existing properties
as well as for new projects. The people of Randolph wanted controls in place to ensure that
growth and development met certain criteria and added to the beauty of the town rather than
detract from it. The time for Design Review had certainly come. While some felt that addi-
tional research into such a committee's inception was required, town meeting voted resound-
ingly in favor. The board would have five members -three to be appointed by the Selectmen,
one by the Planning Board, and one by the Historical Commission.
By the end of June 1999 all appointments were made. The Board of Selectmen
appointed former Selectman Maureen Dunn, town meeting member John Barry, and
Selectman James Burgess; the Planning Board - former Selectman Dori Burke, and the
Historical Commission Steve Geller, a resident with an architectural and planning back-
ground. Thus complete, meetings commenced in July to formulate rules and regulations
based on the new bylaw. (200-91 to 200-95) The board enlisted the support and advice of
the town's Building Commissioner Mary C. McNeil in writing and rewriting the guidelines,
designing appropriate forms for application, and setting a fee schedule.
The purpose of the Design Review Board, as spelled out in the new bylaw, is "to
preserve and enhance the Town's cultural, economic, and historical resources by providing a
detailed review of all changes in land use, the appearance of structures, and the appearance
of sites which may affect these resources. The review procedures are intended to 1) enhance
the social and economic viability of the town by preserving property values and promoting
the attractiveness of the town as a place to live, visit, & shop 2) encourage the conservation
of buildings and groups of buildings that have aesthetic or historic significance, and 3) pre-
vent alterations that are incompatible with the existing environment or that are of inferior
quality or appearance." With that charge uppermost in our minds, the board began hearings
on July 20th 1999. On August 10th, 1999 the board organized as follows: Dori Burke,
Chairman; Maureen Dunn, Vice Chairman; John Barry Clerk, Steve Geller, keeper of the
records & Jim Burgess as Secretary (post meetings & organizes agendas) Within a relatively
short period of time we recognized the urgent need for clerical assistance for minutes, main-
tenance of files, and timely submission of notice of decision forms to both the town clerk
and the Building Commissioner. In October we were granted a reserve fund transfer from
the Finance Committee, and hired Mrs. Molly Hahesy as our secretary. She has been an
asset in many ways - keeping us focused and our records well in hand. In November the spe-
cial town meeting with the support of the Finance Committee granted us a budget for
expenses allowing us to continue with clerical assistance through FY2000. Meetings are
held on Tuesday evenings at 7:00pm at the Town Hall. To date we have acted upon 47 appli-
cations and we have collected $3150.00 in application fees which should in the long run off-
204

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
set our expenses and then some. Since July we have acted on roofs, signs, awnings, site
alterations to existing buildings and new building proposals. Two of the larger projects that
have come before us are the new World's Gym on Diauto Drive and the Volta Oil/Sunoco
project on Mazzeo Drive. Even given the scope and size of these plans, as a board we
reviewed, suggested and expedited the approval within two meetings. The majority of our
hearings have been held and decisions given within a week of submission of application.
While the business community expressed concern about adding the Design Review Board
decision into the permitting process, we believe we have acted in a timely fashion when
information is presented to us as requested by complete application and fears at this point
should be allayed. We were created by town meeting with very specific intent, and that is
how we have conducted business until now - and shall do so into the future.
With thanks to Mary C. McNeil Building Commissioner for her invaluable assis-
tance in our growth and development, Mrs. Linda Sproules and Mrs. Anne Barkhouse of the
Selectmen's office for help and support with applications and clerical help, Mrs. Molly
Hahesy for her detailed minutes and timely submissions and to the residents of our commu-
nity who support the ideals the Design Review Board are committed to uphold.

REPORT OF THE
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
For the year of 1999, the Board wishes to submit that they received eleven appHca-
tions for Variances or Special Permits, two extensions and one rescission to a Special
Permit. One informal discussion was also heard. In that, five were in a Business Zone, and
one partially in Business and Residential. Five were entirely in Residential Zoned areas. The
Board granted an Amendment to a Business Zoned Variance and granted four Variances to
Business Zoned parcels, and seven in Residential Zoned Variances. Also included were two
Special Permits granted in Business Zones. One Business Zoned application for a Variance
was Denied.
The Board acted to rescind part of a Special Permit granted in 1973, making it less
nonconforming.
The Board voted an extension for a Residential Variance and one for a Business
Zoned Special Permit.
A total of seventeen meetings were held.
Members in attendance were Richard Brown, Vice Chairman- 15, Dominic English,
Chairman-14, Irene Romano-17, Arnold Rosenthal, Treasurer-17, Jack Hill-17. Phil
Gabardi-14, Toby Schwartz-10, Jonathan Moriarty-15, Robert DeGirolomo-8, and George

All the Board members wish to thank the Building Dept. and the Engineering
Division of the DPW. Thanks also to the Assessor's Office for their assistance in providing
us with abutters lists and the Town Clerk's Office.

The probable cost of construction, which was submitted on permit applications, is
$8,021,055.00. The department's calculation of the work at total completion is
$10,026,318.00.
The sum of $103,358.99 was collected for the above permits and inspections and
was turned over to the Town Clerk/Treasurer.
During the past calendar year, the town has seen a slowing in construction projects.
There has been a continuation of renovations and remodeling for upgrading in both the resi-
dential and business sectors, but little in the major category. The community is fortunate to
see the vibrant pride that owners are showing for their property.
Town Meeting actions this year included the passing of six articles concerned with
building and zoning. Included were the establishment of new requirements for: day care
facilities, 24 hours of business operation, the storage of junk/debris on residential property, a
historic building demolition delay bylaw and the establishment of the Design Review Board.
Each is distinct in the area of concern and the intent of each is extremely worthwhile.
Hopefully, the "fine tuning" of the Historic District Bylaw will be completed shortly. This is
a major undertaking which when completed and voted will preserve the character of the
town.
Other areas which town meeting has had an influence for this department, include
the Master Plan and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. I have been appointed by
the vote of the town meeting to be a member of the advisory committee to the Master Plan
Committee. The Master Plan Committee selected the firm of John Brown Associates, Inc. to
prepare the plan for adoption. The committee and the Planning Board have been working
diligently to a final produc. Community involvement has been productive in questionnaire
responses. As homeowners, some of you need to purchase flood insurance for your resi-
dence. DPW Engineer Leverault and I have been working with Region One program spe-
cialists to update our flood maps. The last set of maps was produced in 1987. There has been
controlled development in areas of flooding under the direction of the local conservation
commission. Modifications and some revisions have been made to the FEMA. At our last
quarterly meeting in October, each of us felt that the new maps reflect the existing condi-
tions of the town. Some of you may now see changes in your flood insurance policy when
town meeting votes to adopt the new maps. In September, the Secretary of State's Office
asked that municipal governments do surveys for accessibility of polling places. Together
the Town Clerk, the ADA Coordinator, the Chairman of the Disabilities Commission and
myself , surveyed the present polling places. Our final report was submitted to the Office of
the Secretary of the Commonwealth, Elections Division, with copies to the Board of
Selectmen and the School Superintendent. So the workload has been interesting and not lim-
ited to construction and zoning opinions.
209
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
Construction activity in our state is regulated by the 6th edition of the State
Building Code. Each of the towns can adopt zoning bylaws. The Building Code and the
Zoning Code work hand in hand. Each is working for better construction and land use.
Before you commit to an extensive proposal, come into the office and discuss your plan. It
can be grand in nature or a simple deck. There are requirements and issues that need to be
addressed prior to, during and at the end of a project. Find out before so you will not be sur-
prised in the middle of your project. To borrow a phrase - the best consumer is the best pre-
pared.
In closing, I wish to express a sincere thank you to the Board of Selectmen, the
Executive Secretary, the police department, and all other departments for their assistance
and cooperation during the past year. To you the residents, thank you for your understanding
and cooperation.
Respectfully submitted,
Mary C, McNeil, C.B.O.

For the calendar year, $25,504 was collected in fees and turned over to the Town
Clerk/Treasurer. This amount represents an increase of $3,723 in revenue from the previous
year.
1999 was a year of major change for the wiring department. On February 22, 1999,
the Personnel Board voted to amend their Classification and Compensation Schedules rela-
tive to the position of wiring inspector, making it full time. Town meeting members ratified
the Personnel Board's vote at the 1999 Annual Town Meeting and on July 1st, I became the
211
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
full time wiring inspector for the Town. Being full time allows me to keep daily office hours
and be accessible to the electricians working in the Town as well as the residents/business
owners of the Town. Construction activity in the town, both residential and business, shows
no sign of slowing down. Fortunately, I now have more time to spend on plan reviews and
can inspect electrical work in a timelier manner.
There was also a major change in the fiscal side of the department. On August 9,
1999, the Board of Selectmen approved a new permit fee schedule with particular attention
to commercial work. Wiring permit fees for all commercial, industrial and mercantile work
are now based on a percentage of the estimated value of the electrical work being per-
formed. This change in fee structure has brought in more revenue to the town and brings our
permit fees more in line with other cities and towns in the area.
In conclusion, I would like to thank the Town Meeting members, all Town Boards,
Committees, and Departments for their support and a special note of appreciation to
Lorraine MacGregor, the electrical and building department principal clerk, for a fantastic
job.

Donald E. Young Wiring Inspector

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE
SEALER OF WEIGHTS & MEASURES
There were 8 oil trucks checked with the Town Prover (lOOgal.). The results were
that 2 trucks had to be recalibrated before sealing.
Out of 245 gas & diesel pumps inspected, by service people and and myself, 32
adjustments had to be made. One pump was condemned and replaced. It belonged to a truck
rental company and was found to be over-pumping 1 gallon in every 40 gallons pumped.
Upon learning they pumped in excess of 10,000 gallons per month a few calculations deter-
mined I saved them over $200. per month. In another instance at a gas station in N.
Randolph, the same problem of over-pumping was discovered while doing an annual test-
ing. Here the savings to the owner was well $2,000.00 in a year's time. Three years in a row
this has happened on inspections at this station and not even a mere Thank You have I
received from the owner in Worcester.
Sealing and adjusting fees collected amounted to $5,751,000. (Over $1,153.00
from 1998). Of the total shown $950.00 is from Scanner Fees from stores with check-out
scanners. This is mandated in the Consumer and Merchants Protection Act of 1998.
Provisions in this new Act authorize the use of non-criminal citations by sealers and inspec-
tors.
Incidently, the Town Sealer Job is getting close to a full time position with all the
extra hours spent enforcing the new State Laws.
The Mass. Bureau of Standards & OSHA recommend that local sealers do not
work out of closed vans or cars when testing petroleum products. Health warnings say that
long term exposure to gasoline vapors causes cancer, that's why a pick-up truck with a cap is
needed to service the town. My own pick-up has been used for 14 years and is getting tired.
Scale inspections: Sealed
During the later part of December, the State conducted an Octane Test on ail gas
stations with their new testing equipment by State Inspector Richard Orpin. I assisted him
on several stations and the results were very good.
Lastly, plans are under way for a display to be set-up of the old town weight stan-
dards. Many old measuring devices that are out of use will be resurrected and displayed for
educational purposes in Old Stetson Hall. State Inspector of Standards Donald Smith (who
lives in Randolph) has offered his services to help me in this project. Don is also State
Metrologist who over the years on numerous occasions has guided the town and me with his

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE
TRUSTEES OF THE STETSON SCHOOL FUND
"Historic buildings are our heritage and need our care and respect"
While ongoing maintenance and coordination of our leases continued as usual, it
was the Stetson Hall Rehabilitation Project that dominated the Trustees' attention and ener-
gies for most of this past year.
Exterior Restoration:
Perhaps the most visible accomplishment of 1999 was the exterior restoration of
the building. In the spring the grey white building disappeared under blue staging. When it
emerged in November it had a new coat of paint and a new appearance.
The restoration was undertaken at this time in response to the state's denial of the
Historical Commission's application to put Stetson Hall on the National Register of Historic
Places, a necessary step to qualify for many state and federal grants.
The project was funded by means of a $20,000 grant from the Copeland Family
Foundation, $10,000 from the Save Stetson Hall Fund, and $1,600 from the recycling of the
aluminum scrap removed from the building.
Two groups of volunteers carried out the work. The siding removal, and carpentry
repairs were undertaken by a small group of volunteers under the direction of Walter Hess
and George Hoeg. Many of these people came in five days a week for several weeks in the
spring and summer, with a few continuing until the completion of carpentry work at end of
October. The second larger group carried out the task of scraping, priming and painting the
clapboards and wood trim. This process began in early summer and was largely completed
by the end of October.
An important part of the exterior restoration was research into historic cladding and
paint colors. Some important clues were gained after the building had been stripped. With
the clapboards removed on the two long sides of the building it was possible to evaluate the
sheathing and record the carpenter's marks of 1842. In this way new information was gained
to the location of original windows and doors, repairs, and clues that could not be gained
from other ways. In addition to construction details, we found where the original shutters
were attached. The clapboards yielded more information. Stencils on the backs of some indi-
cated that these were installed around the turn of the century. Paint found on trim and
sheathing gave clues to the shutter paint colors, while samples collected from the many
locations around the building provided twenty-six paint layers spanning a century and a half.
When these were matched against documentary evidence, such as trustees records, original
paint receipts, and early photos and colored postcards of the building we were able to estab-
lish a fairly good timeline of the painting of Stetson Hall.
One of the most beautiful elements of the restoration was the reinstallation of the
globe window that had graced the front pediment when the building was constructed in
215
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
1842. For half a century it had gathered dust in the storage area behind the balcony. Henry
Rota took the window home, carefully disassembled it, cleaned it and painstakingly restored
the window to its original glory. This required the assistance of a retired glazier from Avon,
who replicated some of the curved muntins that had deteriorated over the years. With its
reinstallation, the hall gained a gleaming jewel and unique view onto the town. We plan to
eventually make this area available so visitors can appreciate the beauty of both the window
and the view.
Development of Plans:
The Trustees began the year by contracting with Gale Associates of Pembroke to
conduct the necessary evaluations of the building and its needs relative to its proposed
usage, and to develop preliminary plans and cost estimates.
This phase commenced in May, and continued through the summer, with an initial
report issued to the design committee at the end of August. With further review and recom-
mendations from the committee, a final report was prepared at the end of November, outlin-
ing the total scope of the overall project and its estimated cost of $1.8 dollars. The design
committee will work with Gale Associates in the coming months as they develop the initial
plans and refine the estimates, and will be making every effort to bring the final cost down.
The two most important parts of the project are the structural repairs, estimated at
nearly $500,000, and the construction of an addition to accommodate an elevator and the
needed accessible restroom facilities, costs totalling $ 800,000.
Funding the Project:
For a third year, the Save Stetson Hall Committee has worked diligently to raise
funds towards the building's restoration. Three events; the Bill Carr Memorial Variety Show,
the Taste of Randolph, and the SSH Golf Tournament raised over $40,000 towards meeting
our goal. Some of the funds raised were applied to the purchase of materials for this sum-
mer's exterior restoration. Plans are already underway for Taste of Randolph 2000, and the
SSH Golf Tournament.
One of the most important accomplishments in the fund raising arena was the
Legislature's approval of a $500,000 matching grant as part of the state budget passed in
November. Thanks to the efforts of Rep. Galvin, and Sen. Joyce, as well as Rep. Timilty and
Rep. Ayers, this unprecedented grant was passed, despite being vetoed by Gov. Celluci on
three prior occasions.
One of the conditions of this grant is the registration of the Preservation
Restrictions approved by Town Meeting in 1998. Under the terms of these restrictions, the
Massachusetts Historical Commission becomes a partner in the rehabilitation program, and
will have approval power over our proposed plans and any future projects that affect the his-
torical or architectural integrity of the building. Because it is a matching grant, the Trustees
will be seeking additional funding at Town Meeting.
216
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
Less successful was the efforts of the town to qualify for a Community
Development Block Grant of $386,000 to provide for handicap access, which were turned
down for technical reasons. We shall be applying for another CDBG of approximately
$400,000 in March 2000, and the town's grant writers will be working with federal authori-
ties to insure a better result.
Looking forward: 2000
With the Design Development phase of the rehabilitation program underway, con-
struction plans and bid documents should be completed and ready for bidding by the spring.
Before this can happen, the plans must be accepted by the Massachusetts Historical
Commission and the Design Review Board. Since the plans call for the removal of the ell on
the southeast side of the building, a review by the Historical Commission under the
Demolition Delay bylaw will also be required.
Once bidding is closed and a contract concluded, it is expected that much of the
construction phase of the rehabilitation will be completed in about a year.
To keep the project tolling forward, fundraising activities will continue unabated on
all fronts, including the SSH Fund and grants. We will also be seeking approval for at least a
match to the state capital improvement grant, and probably more. We will also be working
with Gale Associates and their consulting firms to insure that the job is done in a most eco-
nomical and cost effective way. This may require postponing some phases of the project
until more funds can be obtained. We hope that will not be necessary.
Meanwhile, we will continue to provide meeting space for community groups in
the GAR Hall as long as possible. Since our tenants rents offset more than 80% of operating
costs, we will make every effort to insure they can continue their activities with the least
amount of interruption during the construction.
Good Byes and Thank Yous:
In July, our secretary, Nancy Yaras resigned after two years service. Finding a
replacement has been difficult, but we expect to have one prior to the contract bidding
process in the spring.
In December Mary Good, vice Chair of Trustees, resigned from the Board as a
result of her move out of town. We thank her for more than six years of diligent service to
the Board that enabled the rehabilitation of Stetson Hall to move from an idea to a reality,
and her work with the Randolph Garden Club to beautify the grounds around our building.
Thank yous to: Executive Secretary Paul Connors for getting us a construction
dumpster and a power lift for use in the exterior restoration; to the DPW for moving and
tamping down both the construction dumpster and the recycling container, and for timely
snow removal that has allowed tenant programs to continue with minimal interruption;
Town Accountant Therese Steele and the Accounting Dept. for assisting us in Mrs Yaras'
absence with filing vouchers and establishing gift and grant accounts to permit payments to
be made in a timely manner; to the Selectmen and School Committee for their support in
grant and fundraising activities; to Building Commissioner Mary McNeil, Chief Richard

Also thanks to: Superior Sheet Metal for custom trim and flashing components;
Thomas Steele for ornamental wood trim for cornices and window trim; United Rentals for
donating the use of a power lift; BFI for their donations of materials and services to help
make the exterior restoration a success.
Finally, we thank you, the citizens of Randolph, for your continued support and
encouragement which has moved this project from idea to reality. With your continued help,
we will reahze our goal of an active, accessible, and functional center for community arts
and cultural activities, and rental functions, and maintaining the building's historical place as
an icon of the town. Stetson Hall is the legacy of our grandparents to us. With your help, it
will be a legacy that we can be proud to pass on to our grandchildren.

ONE HUNDRED AND SDCTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE
DIRECTOR TURNER FREE LIBRARY
The Turner Free Library continues to be one of the most active libraries in
Massachusetts and remains among the state's top thirty for the number of items borrowed
from it. Last year 282,136 items were borrowed. This included more than 210,000 books
and magazines, over 22,000 audio recordings and more than 48,500 video cassettes.
Museum passes, which provide free or discount admission to several Boston area museums,
and which are provided through the generous support of the Friends of the Turner Free
Library, were borrowed almost 400 times. More than 23,000 books and other items were
sent by other libraries in the Old Colony Library Network for use here by Randolph resi-
dents. If everybody who borrowed a book or other item from the Turner Free Library last
year had had to buy it instead, they would have paid more than $6,000,000, or more than
twelve times what it costs to operate the library.
But this is only one measure of the service the library provides to the community.
Access to the Internet and the World Wide Web is available through the Old Colony Library
Network computer system and by using it Randolph residents can seek information from
sources from around the world. Or one can visit the library to attend free live programs by
entertaining performers or interesting speakers. These are funded in part by the Turner
Library Friends and in part through grants awarded by the Randolph Cultural Council. Or
one can come to the library to participate in our reading and discussion group, now in its
sixteenth year, which meets once a month for an evening of lively book discussion.
Although this book discussion group does not meet in the summer, the library does
provide a summer reading program for children, and a very active one it is, too. Last sum-
mer almost 600 children participated, and over half read ten or more books.
This past year saw changes among the library staff, including the retirement of
Cheryl Abromowitz, who had been chief circulation librarian since 1987. She will be missed
by both the library staff and the many library users whom she helped.
In closing, I wish to express my thanks to the library staff for all their efforts during
another busy and challenging year, and also to our many library volunteers for their devoted
and much appreciated assistance. The Turner Library Friends and their current President,
Judy Azer, deserve not only my thanks but also those of all library users for the many ways
in which they support the library. Thanks are also due to the Library Trustees for their con-
tinuing support and encouragement. Finally, special thanks are due to all the people for
whom the Turner Free Library is a vital community service. Truly, we could not be the
library we are without them.

REPORT OF THE
TRUSTEES OF THE TURNER FREE LIBRARY
As I begin to write this Report on activity at the Turner Library this past year, it
strikes me that this will be the final such Report filed in the twentieth century, a fact which
leads me to reflect on the history and development of the Library. From humble beginnings
over a century ago and through a ruinous fire, our Library has survived to become one of the
busiest in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and an important resource in our communi-
ty-
Over the course of time, and most especially at this point in the history of the
Turner Library, we have been fortunate to have a capable and devoted staff to serve our
many patrons. Hopefully, the residents of the Town of Randolph recognize that in terms of
number of employees, our staff is one of the smallest of any library in a town of comparable
size in eastern Massachusetts. Our ever-growing circulation is a testament to the efforts of
our staff, which should not go unnoticed.
Our current library building is aging gracefully. Exterior improvements overseen
by the Trustees over the last five years should help to carry the facility through the next
decades. Thanks to the installation of a new entrance at the rear of the building and a central
elevator, most levels of the Turner Library are now accessible to all.
During this past year, the Trustees developed a plan to redesign the main floor of
the Library so as to provide better lighting and an enclosed computer room for our patrons.
It is our hope to begin work on these projects during the course of the year 2000, but much
will, of course, depend upon the extent to which funds for capital improvements will be
available from the Town, The Trustees have approved the purchase of several new comput-
ers for our Children's Room and these should be in place sometime in late spring.
In looking back over the past year, I again extend thanks to the Friends of the
Turner Free Library for their continued support and generosity.
I also thank our dedicated volunteers for their efforts in helping to meet the needs
of our patrons. Without these individuals, many tasks in the Library, perhaps routine but
nevertheless vital to its operation, would go undone.
I would also like to extend my appreciation to the Board of Selectmen, the
Executive Secretary and to the other Town officials and departments whose cooperation and
assistance remain invaluable in the operation of the Library.
Finally, I thank those individuals, organizations and businesses in the Town who
continually support our efforts to help better the Library.
As we begin a new Millennium, we look forward to the challenge of reinventing
the Library to keep pace with the changing needs of you, our patrons, and with the changing
technologies of the world around us.

REPORT OF THE
FAIR HOUSING DIRECTOR/COMMITTEE
The Randolph Fair Housing Director and Fair Housing Committee herewith submit
their annual report for the year ending December 31,1999.
The Fair Housing Committee was established by the Board of Selectmen to serve
as an advisory board to the Selectmen in all matters relating to Fair Housing. The purpose of
the Committee is to promote, monitor, and ensure fair treatment and equal opportunities for
safe and sanitary housing for all citizens, regardless of race, age, color, sex, religion, welfare
status, marital status, national origin, national ancestry, and physical or mental disability.
The Randolph Fair Housing office, through the efforts of the Fair Housing
Director, continued to provide counseling, outreach, information/referral, and other direct
services to the residents and potential residents of the Town throughout 1999. In addition,
the Fair Housing Office continues to be the local agency to which all resident tenant/land-
lord problems/questions are referred. To date, hundreds of residents and potential residents
have been served through this Office by the Fair Housing Director. In June, the Fair Housing
Office moved to 1 Turner Lane.
Written quarterly reports re: the Town's Fair Housing activities were submitted by
the Fair Housing Director to the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination as
required. In April, the Annual Town Meeting approved an appropriation of $500.00 for an
operating expense budget for the Fair Housing Committee for the period July 1,1999,
through June 30,2000. With the anticipated appointment of several new Fair Housing
Committee members by the Board of Selectmen, re-vitalization and re-organization of the
Committee is expected to take place early in 2000, with the first order of business to be the
formulation of a focused and attainable agenda/action plan for the next three years. We take
this opportunity to express our thanks to the Randolph Housing Authority for their assis-
tance and cooperation during the past year.
The diversity of the Town's population and the existing and planned affordable,
handicapped, and elderly housing in Randolph attests to the Town's commitment to ensure
equal opportunity in housing for all persons who are or who wish to reside within its bound-
aries. The Fair Housing Committee and Director look forward to working with and on
behalf of the Town's residents and potential residents in 2000.

REPORT OF THE
VETERANS' SERVICES AND VETERANS' AGENT
There are many opportunities to reach out to veterans with information on new and
existing programs that are available to them. Many veterans do not know about these pro-
grams and it is lifechanging for many of them to find out ways their lives can be improved.
There are many widows who are in desperate need of help and it is extremely beneficial to
them to find out what is available.
A current file of job opportunities for veterans is available in the Veteran's Office.
During 1999, a group of women started making afghans for veterans. In December
we delivered the afghans to the VA Brockton Medical Center. The veterans were very
pleased with these beautiful afghans and we are grateful to the women who worked tireless-
ly at making them.
On Memorial Day the Randolph Veterans Council conducted services at St.
Bernadette's Church. The Memorial Day exercises started at the War Memorial, followed by
a parade that proceeded to Central Cemetery, where exercises were conducted. The parade
then proceeded to St. Mary's Cemetery, where a short ceremony was conducted.
Dedication of the flag pole at the Randolph Senior Center took place on July 3rd.
This was done by Dennis Lui, as his Eagle Scout Project. A ceremony was held followed by
refreshments. Students from the Donovan School donated the flag.
The July 4th Parade was exciting. Jim Campbell, the Chairman of the "Night
Before the Fourth Parade", is to be congratulated for the wonderful job he did on putting it
all together. Jim Hurley, as the Master of Ceremonies, did an outstanding job.
We met at the VFW Post on Veteran's Day for breakfast. After breakfast we
marched along Memorial Parkway to the War Memorial, where a ceremony was held.
Ceremonies were also held at the Hollywell Nursing Home and Sunbridge. The veterans
residing in these nursing homes are always very grateful for the ceremonies and visits.
The Veteran's Office is always open to any veteran who has a problem, needs infor-
mation, or just wants to talk. If you've never been to the Veteran's Office, please stop by and
introduce yourself.

REPORT OF THE
SELF HELP INCORPORATED
During the program year ending September 30, 1999, Self Help, Inc., received a
total funding of approximately $13.9M and provided direct services to 13,541 limited
income households in the area.
In the town of RANDOLPH, SHI provided services totaling $659,573 to 472
households during program year 1999.
The total funding of $13,896,853 does not tell the real value of human services
delivered to the area as a whole. Self Help's funding enabled us to mobilize an additional
$1,379,860 of other community resources such as, volunteers, donations of space, and pri-
vate donations in the form of goods and services. Therefore, the gross value of Self Help,
Inc., during the past program year was $15,276,713.
In addition. Self Help currently employs 262 individuals, many who are of limited
income, minorities, and who reside in our service area.
We feel that October 1, 1998 through September 30, 1999 was a successful pro-
gram year for us because we were able to assist as many limited income individuals and/or
families as we did, regardless of the challenges of being a human service provider.
We thank all the volunteers, the Board of Selectmen, the limited income represen-
tative Ms. Anne Shaw, and the private sector representatives, for helping to make Fiscal
Year 1999 a successful one.

REPORT OF THE
YOUTH COMMISSION
The Randolph Youth Commission and Youth Staff herewith submit their annual
report for the year ending December 31,1999. As a service/activity oriented prevention
agency, the Youth Department became involved in a number of endeavors pertaining to the
mental, social, and physical health of the Town's youth and their families. In the implementa-
tion of any program, the Youth Commission has the following objectives in mind: 1.) To
provide alternatives to delinquent behavior by developing creative programs to meet the
social, educational, vocational, psychological, and/or recreational needs of young people; 2.)
To assess and respond to the needs and concerns of Randolph teenagers and their families
through active outreach efforts; 3.) To create a better understanding about youth among
adults, particularly between parents and their own children; 4.) To help the youth of
Randolph to articulate and meet their own needs; 5.) To bring about a clearer understanding
of services and activities available to youth by agencies already serving the Town.
In 1999 the Youth Staff worked with, among others, police, court, school, and area
social service personnel. They provided individual and family counseling, academic tutor-
ing, vocational counseling and placements, organized and supervised youth activities, were
resources for information/referral and community service, and were called upon in numer-
ous crisis-intervention situations, including direct involvement with school drop-outs, run-
away cases, teenage rape victims, cases of attempted suicide, teenage pregnancy, and child
abuse/neglect, as well as cases of problems resulting from alcohol and/or drug abuse.
The Lafayette Street Youth Center (24th Anniversary )continues to provide local
young people with a supervised place to meet and participate in various constructive activi-
ties. The Center continued to be open to young people in grades 6 through 12, Monday -
Saturday nights, offering activities such as ping-pong, pool table, bumper pool, table soccer,
TV, juke boxes, electronic games, and more. Special events/activities are also planned on a
regular basis. Parents/adults are welcome and encouraged to stop in anytime. Various com-
munity groups also utilized the Youth Center facility (70 Lafayette Street - 963-9879)
throughout the year. Former Youth Outreach Worker Janet D. LaBelle filled the part-time
position of Youth Center Director during the summer months, and at this writing, the posi-
tion is held by another former Outreach Worker, Maureen J. Russell.
An on-going Youth Employment Service (which referred numerous local teenagers
to full-time, part-time, and odd jobs throughout the year) and maintenance and supervision
of the Town basketball court were among the other programs/ activities that the Youth
Commission/Staff became involved with and sponsored in 1999.
In her fifth year as the Town's Youth Outreach Worker, Ms. Jodi M. Sumpter estab-
lished and solidified effective working relationships with many local teens and their fami-
lies, as well as with all other local and area agencies who deal with the Town's youth. Jodi
maintained a significant individual/family counseling caseload and continued her active
involvement in a number of local groups/committees focusing on local youth issues. In addi-
tion, Jodi conducted community wide babysitting courses, organized and supervised field
trips, and assisted as needed with the supervision at the Lafayette Street Youth Center and
228
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
the Town basketball court. At this writing, Jodi is on maternity leave and will remain on
leave into next year.
Throughout 1999 the Youth Staff continued to meet and work with various commu-
nity groups interested in assessing and addressing the needs of the Town's young people. In
2000 we hope to expand and increase our efforts on behalf of our sixth grade and Middle
School age students. In June, the Youth Office (961-0936) moved to 1 Turner Lane. The
Youth Commission continues to meet at 7PM on the first Monday of the month.
We take this opportunity to thank the Lafayette Street neighborhood for their con-
tinuing patience and understanding. We also thank all Town departments, the business com-
munity, and the townspeople for their cooperation and encouragement throughout the year.
Special thanks and appreciation to the Police, Fire, and Auxiliary Police Departments, the
Department of Public Works, the School Department, the Junior Ladies Library Association,
Abington Savings Bank, and Town Meeting members for their continued assistance and sup-
port in 1999. We look forward to working with and on behalf of the Town's youth and their
families in 2000.

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE
BOARD OF RECREATION
The Recreation Department is continuing to grow and meet the needs of the com-
munity with recreational facilities, programs, and activities. Many new trips and tours were
offered to residents of Randolph. The highlight of the year was the summer dinner tours.
The New, York trips still remain the most popular trip as over 280 people traveled with us in
1999. We saw 650 youth attend the summer recreation program and they participated in the
Hershey Track Meet, which is a national track and field event.
We bid good-bye to Alfred George, who retired from the Board of Recreation after
serving the community for 33 years. Al was one of the founding members of the Board of
Recreation. We will miss his knowledge and expertise. We welcomed Joe D'Auria, our
newest member. He is the registrar for Randolph Youth Soccer and has been very active in
other Randolph sports.
Two new full time employees were hired at the Joseph J. Zapustas Arena. Jarrod
Marathas was employed as the new maintenance worker and John Fitzgerald was employed
as the new assistant manager replacing Christopher Crawford who now works for the
Randolph Public School Department. Jarrod has been working part time at the arena for five
years.
A memorial was placed near the entrance of the arena to remember Pauline and
Philip Re, who volunteered so much of their time to the youth of Randolph. The memorial
stone and the flagpole were a gift from the Sullivan family. Debbie Re Sullivan is the
daughter of Pauline and Philip Re.
We received two grants in 1999. The first one from the Massachusetts Cultural
Council for $800 to be used for our summer theater program, "Snoopy!!!", the musical. We
were able to take the show on the road as we traveled to 25 recreation centers throughout the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts to perform the show. Constance Miller Clinton, the the-
ater director and Sandra Howley, the music director did an outstanding job traveling with
the 10 teenagers to perform each show. The second grant we will share with Randolph
Public Schools beginning in January 2000. The grant comes from the Department of
Education in the amount of $18,500 to provide an after school program at the Randolph
Community Middle School.
The Randolph Community Pool was open all year and residents enjoyed water
activities such as water aerobics, swimming lessons, special diving camps and family
swims. It has been a pleasure working with Arthur Melia, Superintendent of the Randolph
Public Schools who has allowed us to make the facility available and works with the Board
of Recreation to improve the quality of services at the pool.
The Recreation Department maintains Imagination Station Playground. The coop-
eration of Joel Swanwick who repairs the playground and the Braintree Alternative Center, a
division of the Norfolk County Sheriff 's office, under the direction of Sheriff Michael
Bellotti, that volunteers their time to seal the wood is much appreciated.
231
ONE HUNDRED AND SDCTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
Randolph Community Theater presented three musicals on the stage at the
Randolph High School. Local actors and actresses of all ages participated in "Fiddler On
The Roof, "Snoopy!!!", and "The King and I". We are proud to say that more than 1000
people have attended each show. We would like to thank the Music Boosters and the Girl
Scouts for helping with the shows.
In conclusion, it is important that we recognize the men and women who work for
the Recreation Department. With their hard work and dedication the programs are success-
ful. We are proud that the Randolph Recreation Department offers some of the best pro-
grams in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We would also like to thank the Department
of Public Works under the direction of David Zecchini and Randolph Public Schools for all
their help this past year.

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE
HISTORICAL COMMISSION
The year just past has been a busy and productive one for the Commission. As you
may be aware, our principal responsibihties are the identification and management of our
historical resources, advising local and state officials on local preservation matters, and
maintaining historic public records, artifacts, and other materials for future use.
1. Historic Preservation
Demolition Delay Bylaw - Perhaps the most significant accomplishment of the
year was the enactment of a Demolition Delay bylaw, which was approved by town meeting
in April. Under the bylaw, buildings over 100 years old that are listed on the town's list of
historic buildings are subject to initial review prior to an application for a demolition permit.
If the initial review determines that they are of significance, then a public hearing is held,
and the Commission can approve the demolition request or require a six month delay to find
a way to preserve the building, either through finding a new buyer, moving the building, or
some other means. Since the bylaw was passed, we have only had one case that necessitated
a review by the Commission. The coming year will likely see more reviews and some that
will require public hearings. This will be the true test of the bylaw.
Design Review Bylaw - One of the provisions of the new Design Review bylaw
was the appointment of one of the board members by the Commission. We appointed
Stephen Geller to serve on the new board. The Commission is kept informed of the board's
activities, and looks forward to providing historical information on future projects as need-
ed.
Historic District Study - Work on the "Elms" local historic district is proceeding
slowly. We expect that the documentation of the more than one hundred properties in the
proposed district can be completed within the next several months, and we can commence
the process of neighborhood meetings and hearings needed to get the proposal before town
meeting.
Chapter 106 Reviews - We have been contacted several times this year by the
Massachusetts Historical Commission as part of their Chapter 106 review of applications for
communications towers in Randolph, to see what affect, if any, the proposed towers would
have on local historical resources. In one case, a balloon test was requested. This entails
putting up a red balloon to the height of the proposed tower on its proposed location to see
how it affects the appearance of certain historic sites within a certain radius from the site.
Inventory and Survey - Progress was made this year in completing survey forms
for historic properties in the downtown business district. Given the increased development
in this area, it was felt that this area should receive increased attention to insure that local
historical resources may be properly considered as part of local development plans.
Crawford Square Historical Marker - As part of our ongoing program to replace
the wooden historical markets that were erected in the 1970's, we have finally replaced the
234
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
marker for Crawford Square with a granite one. If funds permit, we hope to replace the
marker at the head of South Street sometime in 2000.
Regional Preservation - In November, the Commission hosted a meeting of local
area historical commissions with representatives of the Massachusetts Historical
Commission and the National Trust. We learned about the resources available that allow for
both historic preservation and economic development. We hope that from this modest start,
a contact network will arise between the commissions that will allow all of us to do our jobs
better.
II. Historical Collections:
Randolph's historical collections continue to be used by a variety of researchers,
including genealogists, environmental engineers, journalists, and students. Much of the
material that has appeared in the history columns of the Randolph Buzz has come from our
collections. In the coming year, the Commission will make increasing use of the collections
in property reviews for demolition applications.
A rather new use of our collections is to furnish copies of images of historic houses
to homeowners and realtors, and of ancestors to family historians.
One hinderance to more effective use of our collections is the lack of any real orga-
nization or finding aids that would make the collections more accessible. We hope that we
can begin to rectify this deficiency in the coming year.
in. Looking Ahead to 2000:
Inventory & Survey - We will continue to focus our energies on recording historic
properties in the downtown area.
Historic District - We will be working to have the survey of properties in the pro-
posed district completed this year. Then we'll need to have neighborhood meetings, public
hearings, and present it to town meeting. Meanwhile, two other areas in town have been
suggested to the commission as potential historic districts: South Main St., and the area
between Warren and West Streets that was known as "Little Dublin."
Master Plan - After initial discussions with Brown Associates relative to the mas-
ter plan, we will be working with them in the coming year to provide more substantial infor-
mation for inclusion in the historic preservation component of the plan.
Stetson Hall Rehabilitation - We have been following the progress of the Stetson
Hall rehabilitation project. We have reapplied to the Massachusetts Historical Commission
for a reconsideration of our application for National Register status for the building.
Historical House Markers - We plan to resume the historical house markers pro-
gram, which has enjoyed renewed popularity as more residents purchase and restore historic
homes.
235
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
Cataloguing of Collections - We are investigating the possible use of student
interns or volunteers to organize and catalogue collections to help generate finding aids to
make them more accessible to researchers.
IV. In Memoriam: Marie M. Carr, 1922-1999
In December, we were saddened by the passing of Marie Carr. She was one of the
original appointees to the Commission when it was established by town meeting in 1974.
For a quarter century, she worked tirelessly to record and preserve Randolph's history, espe-
cially its architectural heritage. Marie's compiled or assisted in developing historic resource
survey forms for over three dozen properties, two thirds of our current list. She was success-
ful in getting the Jonathan Belcher House on the National Register of Historic Places, one of
only three sites in Randolph to be so listed. Most recently, she helped develop the demoli-
tion delay bylaw. She will be greatly missed.

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE
TOWN CLERK/TREASURER
As we close out the final days of 1999, 1 am very proud to state the accomplish-
ments of the past Fiscal Year. Our office has been extremely busy with the computerizing of
Vitals, Business Certificates, Dog Licenses, Town Meeting Minutes, Elections, Coding,
Constables, Performance Bonds and many other financial duties and obligations, getting
ready for the next century.
We look forward to an exciting year with four Elections, one being our Presidential
Election, and also becoming involved in Randolph's first "Kids for Voting Project."
As Treasurer, our office has been actively getting ready for our Permanent Bonding
that will take place this Spring.
As usual, I am very proud to say that we have not had to do any tax anticipation
borrowing and by prudent cash management can proudly state that our Tax Title program
has brought in $359,023.27 in outstanding taxes and interest. We have earned an additional
$405,749.73 in general funds invested.
On a sad note, it is time to close the door of 21 wonderful years of my career as
your Clerk/Treasurer.
With so many people to thank, I would like to begin with my predecessor, Norman
Silk, who saw the potential in me by making me his Assistant in 1979 while ensuring that I
attended school to become the Town's first Certified Clerk/Treasurer, Selectmen Joe
Semensi, Maureen Dunn, and Alvin Yorra, for having the confidence to appoint me in 1982,
the Townspeople that elected me to this position in 1983, and a special thanks to my mentor,
Hank Lowd.
To all of the Departments, Department Heads, Police, Fire, Boards, Committees
and Commissions that I have worked so closely with through the years to keep the Town
operating as a smooth unit; Special Thanks for all your help.
To the Registrar's Office, Election and Poll Workers, who work long hours, making
sure that every Election Law is followed, to the Selectmen, Legislators, past and present,
who have been there making sure that our interests and concerns are taken care of, your
efforts are greatly appreciated, and our Chamber of Commerce for their dedication to the
Town.
I feel that one of the biggest accomplishments is in the working relationship
between the Randolph School Department and the Town that exists today. I'd like to com-
mend them for all of the work that they have done for this Office, saving the taxpayers thou-
sands of dollars. To Wilfred Savoie, Superintendent/Director of the Blue Hills Regional
High School, thank you for all of your assistance.
237
ONE HUNDRED AND SDCTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
One of my greatest blessings is the gift of my fantastic staff, Loretta, Anne,
Pauline, Brenda and Betty, they are the ones who always made me "look good".
Last but not least, to you, the residents of Randolph for your public trust through-
out the years, my deepest gratitude. I have held this Office with respect and dignity and am
proud to leave in the same manner.
Sincerely,
Joan F. Ward

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE
TOWN COLLECTOR
New technology affects not only this office's end-users but, through our competent
staff, it also affects our customers. As fast-thinking machines and the intelligent people
using them boost productivity, everyone's expectations go up. This office must be constantly
innovating, thinking ahead and using its existing technology more creatively.
Richelle MacDonald, who has been with us for over one year, was hired for her
municipal experience, office skills and extraordinary computer background. She has taken
an old, handwritten procedure for the preparation of Municipal Lien Certificates and inte-
grated it with our existing computer programs. The result is a computer generated form
which is mailed out only days after requested. Realtors, lawyers and others who request
these certificates are most appreciative of this short turn around time.
Jean Richard, who has been with us for fourteen years, is responsible for the prepa-
ration of all taxpayer letters, advertising copy and legal forms and notices resulting in a
property tax taking. On her own, with little or no training or assistance, she computerized
the entire program. The time formerly spent typing old documents can now be put to better
use.
Betty Furey, who has been here the longest, is an exceptional assistant. She is the
office manager who sets staff priorities, resolves problems, manages time and makes daily
decisions. She is responsible for the effortless processing of the workload through the office
and the timely deposits of receipts. Betty was put to the management test this year and
passed with flying colors.
Those who pay their taxes timely get a fair deal from us, whether it's the speedy
resolution of a complex problem or courteous and efficient taxpayer assistance. In addition
we will continue to aggressively collect taxes, charges and fees from delinquents. We expect
our customers to trust the system and respect its effectiveness.
We view our taxpayers as valued customers and try to make it easier for these cus-
tomers to pay taxes and other bills and gain access to pertinent information. Our continuing
upgrading of computer techniques are indications of our concerns for our customers.
We continue to look to you for customer feedback about where we should be chart-
ing our course in the years to come.
Respectfully submitted,
John J. FitzGibbons

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE
BOARD OF ASSESSORS
Due to the efforts and enthusiam of a dedicated staff, the Board of Assessors were
able to obtain over $20,000,000.00 in new property value for almost $600,000.00 in new tax
growth for Fy2000. This property value increase was largely due to the new cinema, 2 drug
stores, large additions to some commercial property, and the addition of new homes in the
higher price range.
By gathering data from home inspections, data entry of the information into our
computer system, and evaluation of increased sales values of existing property in the town;
by the Assessors staff all contributed to the following. The town was able to spend 2.1 mil-
lion dollars more than last year, along with a debt exclusion of 1.051 million dollars which
was the cost to borrow for the new middle school, addition to Central Fire Station, and a
new ladder truck etc; were all obtained at an increase of $.50 in the tax rate to Randolph
homeowners.
The Board of Assessors would like to express its sincere thanks and appreciation to
all of the assessors office staff, and all of the other town hall office personnel for their assis-
tance.
